Frank, 75% of that district voted for Bush. Kleeb’s “base” wasn’t exactly going to win him the election, and I guarantee you that no Democrats left him because he was too conservative. There are some places in this state that are just too Republican. It was a valiant effort by Scott, and I hope he runs for statewide office someday, because I think he would win.

Also, not once in that race did Kleeb try to emulate his inept, incompetent, extremist opponent. And he is a true Nebraskan. I’d just like to point that out, for the record.

Scott is definitely eye candy for the young ladies — but he is a farmhand. Is that all the better we can do in Nebraska is bring in a ringer? We need a real Nebraskan to run. Are there any out there???

Here is why Scott lost: 1. The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Scott complained about out of state money just like John Hanson and Mayor Vavricek and the results were the same. 2. Then the last week before the election Scott abandoned his base. He kept getting momentum and points when he supported a PRO CHOICE position and gay LEGAL UNIONS position. When he tried to emulate his opponent the margin widened.

AGAIN we need a real Nebraskan that is not afraid of being liberal. Nebraska is getting more progressive all the time. We need someone who has the guts to not waffle, but tell everyone who his is and stick to it.

Scott was featured twice today on the frontpage of http://www.dailykos.com, the largest political blog in the world!

So kudos to scott. His ranking in the cook political report was even moved to “Favored Republican” which is a major shift from “Strongly Republican” which was what it was ranked before. It’s like the Texas/Nebraska game being Texas favored. Yeah it is, but Nebraska could still win and no one is saying otherwise.

Actually that’s a bad example because I’m a longhorns fan, and I will be rooting for them & certainly don’t want to compare them to republicans.

Anway, You get my gist. Scott has the momentum and that’s a good thing.

It is great that the NYD’s are helping Scott Kleeb and that the Omaha World Herald wrote about him. I didn’t even really know what he was running for before. I hope to road trip to the 3rd district with the NYD’s to help him out.

As much as I complain about the conservative nature of the OWH, it’s good to see that they aren’t completley biased. Kleeb is far and away the best candidate in that race. If elected he’d be one of the best educated Congressmen we’ve ever elected in Nebraska (especially when compared to our “I read at the 7th grade level” 2nd CD Congressman Lee Terry).

Hell, if other representatives get out of hand in Washington, Kleeb as a former rodeo man, will just tackle ‘em. Literally.
