One of the biggest political questions in the state is still unanswered. Today, the Omaha World-Herald revealed a few of the women on the short-list for lieutenant governor. Current Lt. Governor Dave Heineman will be promoted once the U.S. Senate gives current Governor Mike Johanns an excuse to leave the state.
Does anyone remember the last high-profile decision Republican Dave Heineman took part in? Well, when Heineman was promoted to lieutenant governor (man, this guy has a knack for getting promoted) his position as State Treasurer needed to be filled. Heineman supported Loralee Byrd to succeed him, and we all know how that ended up (if you don’t remember, here’s a summary). Heineman sure has an eye for talent!
I wonder if Loralee Byrd is on the short list for lieutenant governor?

Dave Heineman and Loralee Byrd
Who will Dave Heineman give the final rose to? Will there be a hot-tub scene? Will the losers be upset and spill their guts on a televised season finale? You will have to tune in next week to find out.
Don’t expect much creativity. In this administration, Mike Johanns was Mr. Excitement. The big task for the unelected Heineman is to find a second fiddle who is even more bland and irrelevant than he was in this post. Which brings to the forefront a timely question. Where did the GOP hide Dave Maurstad?
Does anybody else see how wicked her eyes look in this picture. I mean, dear god, she has I’m going to embezzle written all over her face!!!!
