The Nebraska U.S. Senate race takes a different turn. The battle now is over respect. Bob Kerrey is accusing one of his Republican rivals of being "disrespectful" to President Barack Obama.

In an exclusive on-camera interview with Nebraska Watchdog, Kerrey criticized one of Jon Bruning's latest TV ads.

In that 30 second commercial Bruning refers to President Obama as "Barack Obama" and "Obama" but never as "President Obama."

Jon Bruning's Senate campaign is firing back at Bob Kerrey.
Bruning's campaign says Kerrey has used similar language regarding former President George Bush.
