It's worth remembering that Mike Johanns won election as Governor in 1998 without winning the city of Lincoln - where he'd pretty well worn out his welcome as mayor. That time, things worked out for the Republican Party, but Johanns was a lot less abrasive and a had far more appeal than Daub in the rural parts of the state.
