Kleeb goes Negative
Posted: February 25th, 2008, 12:25am CST
Scott Kleeb has been in the Senate race for, what, ten minutes? And he's already gone negative on Tony Raimondo. From the OWH: Kleeb said the biggest difference between the two is that he, unlike his opponent, has always been a Democrat.and... Noting that Raimondo opted not to compete with Johanns in a Republican primary, Kleeb asked how the businessman expected to beat the former governor in -
What's in it for Kleeb?
Posted: February 21st, 2008, 9:25am CST
As any political observers outside of a rock have heard, Scott Kleeb is planning on announcing his entrance into the U.S. Senate race. A few thoughts: First, how about the fact that Kleeb plans on announcing his intentions on Monday? Guess who is also announcing on Monday...Tony Raimondo! Now it's one thing for Kleeb to get into the race at the 11th hour after Raimondo (via Ben Nelson) went -
Max factor
Posted: February 18th, 2008, 2:00pm CST
People have gotten all hot and bothered about this, and since there's not a whole lot else (politics-wise) to talk about, we'll throw out this little post. The Nebraska Republican Party decided to apparently have some fun with the nascent 1st District Max Yashirin for Congress campaign. They bought the domain MaxYashirin.com, and put it up with photos of Max Yashirin, from his FaceBook page. -
Crowded House
Posted: February 15th, 2008, 3:30am CST by Street Sweeper
Things are finally in motion to make your 2008 more interesting, politics-wise. As we had noted a few days ago, 1st District Congressman Jeff Fortenberry offically has an opponent for November. He is a 25 year old Lincolnite named Max Yashirin. We've actaully heard quite a bit about Max at this point, but we're going to hold off on all of that for a while. There's lots of time. Let's just say -

House Party
Posted: February 12th, 2008, 4:30pm CST
More waiting on House candidates. Lee Terry said he's going to take this election seriously (so he can apparently win by more than 10% -- which, we keep hearing, was "really close"). Terry has around $455,000 Cash On Hand. Announced Democrat, Richard Carter, made his first foray in front of the party and on TV. And Don Walton of the LJS reports that who is out of the woodwork, but Jim Esch! -
Bloomberg - Hagel...done
Posted: February 9th, 2008, 8:30am CST
The New York Times and CNBC are reporting that the potential Presidential campaign of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel is essentially done-for. Their source? Chuck Hagel. It seems that Hagel is telling any and all that with the emergence of John McCain as the Republican nominee, the odds of Bloomberg getting in the campaign have diminshed greatly -- since -
Barack Ilyich Obama
Posted: February 8th, 2008, 9:15am CST
So watching Barack Hussein Obama (that's what Nebraska hero Bob Kerrey calls him, right?) in Omaha yesterday, we got the chills! First he came out to the roaring crowd, got up there and talked about HOPE! and CHANGE! and pioneers and Abraham Lincoln and beating the Redcoats at Lexington and Concord! And we were all like, "Yeah! Damn those Redcoats!" And we were pretty pumped up about this Obama -

Nebraska Caucusers: Look at us! Look at us!
Posted: February 7th, 2008, 10:10am CST
While the Nebraska Dems have been crowing about how the Nebraska caucuses are essentially like having ESPN's Game Day come in for the Nebraska-USC game, it has turned out to be more like the Big XII Game of the Week. Think Nebraska vs Baylor. (Barack being Nebraska and Chelsea being Baylor.) Oh sure there are some TV cameras around, and the TV stations have gotten a little richer by having -
Has Hillary quit on the Nebraska caucuses?
Posted: February 6th, 2008, 11:40am CST
Word from various news sources is that Hillary Clinton has essentially conceded the Saturday, February 9th, caucuses and primary, including Nebraska's, to Barack Obama. In a conference call with reporters, a Hillary campaign official conceded that Obama was "favored" in all three on Saturday, but that she could win both Ohio and Texas! In other words, she still doesn't care about the little -
Tony's all in
Posted: February 4th, 2008, 12:25pm CST
One-month-old-Democrat Tony Raimondo announced today that he is filing for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He said that he will be doing a fly-around tour later this month. Taking a jab, apparently, at Mike Johanns, the 68 year old Raimondo said he will, "fight against the career politicians who unwittingly stifle innovation, economic opportunity and development." Then agian, maybe -
