He was a good governor, but he sure turned into a yes man in DC.

C'mon, Sandy....."a good governor"?!? PUH-LEEZE! I'm as Repub as they come, but Mikey Boy was bought and paid for when he was the mayor of Lincoln. I've met the guy several times when he was the Gov. The best thing that ever happend was when W offered him the USDA slot...it at least got him out of our state!

As I look at it, the Repubs have NOBODY to run. Mikey? NOPE. Daub? No way. Bruning? (God forbid) HELL NO! Stenberg is nothing but a joke, too. I seriously doubt that Chucky Hagel could get elected Dog Catcher anywhere in Nebraska after his embarrassing tenure as a US Senator.

I just pray that J. Boob Kerrey stays in NYC. He has gotten all the mileage out of his wooden leg that he can. I was glad to see Condi Rice cut him like a weed during the 9/11 Commission hearings. Does anybody remember Commonwealth? Debbie Winger? More than whispered talk of Organized Crime in Nebraska? Nuke dumps in your back yard? All during J. Boob's tenure as governor.

Where the hell is Terry Carpenter when you need him?

Sometimes, the only joy there is when you go to the polls is not the ability to vote FOR a candidate, but the ability to vote AGAINST him. I see dark times ahead for my beloved Cornhusker State.
