Today, the Mike Fahey campaign rented Ollie the Trolley and loaded it up with supporters to vote early.
The Omaha World-Herald wrote about the event and in the same article, wrote about absentee requests.
Here are the highlights of this article.
Of 9,200 requests for mail-in absentee ballots, nearly two-thirds are from forms provided in a Democratic Party flier for Fahey, and about a third from a GOP flier for challenger Dave Friend, Election Commissioner Carlos Castillo said.
This is great news for Mayor Fahey and Democratic city council candidates.
The article gets better…
Chris Donnelly, manager of the Friend campaign, said he is not overly concerned that the requests will translate into a two-to-one advantage for Fahey.
“Any other race, I’d be sweating bullets right now,” Donnelly said.
Despite the involvement of the two parties, voters are not always concerned with partisan labels in the officially nonpartisan city election, he said.
Let me dissect the statements by Chris Donnealy. First, he says “he is not overly concerned” that the Democrats have a sizable lead in absentee requests. I’ll bet if the Republicans had a two-to-one advantage in absentee requests, Paul Johnson, Mike Fahey’s campaign manager would be worried. Don’t campaign managers get paid to worry about these things?
He also said, in “any other race, I’d be sweating bullets right now.” So, Mr. Donnealy, are saying that absentee voters matter in every race except this one? I think running the Friend campaign has made Chris go crazy.
Finally he says, “Despite the involvement of the two parties, voters are not always concerned with partisan labels in the officially nonpartisan city election.” Mr. Donnealy this is not a good thing but a BAD thing for Republicans. The last time I checked there were more registered Republicans in Omaha than Democrats. If voters “were concerned with partisan labels”, then Dave Friend would win.
I don’t know a single a Democrat that is voting for Dave Friend but I know of several Republicans that are voting for Mike Fahey. When voters don’t pay attention to political parties, it hurts Dave Friend.
GO FAHEY!
Fahey’s campaign contacted me to tell me that there is visibility tomorrow and Friday during driving hours. 7:30-9 AM and 4:30-6:30 PM at 72nd and Dodge. VERY CONVENIENT for us because that means we can come and go as we please if we have class or other conflicts. GO GO GO and help out! Thanks guys!
I don’t actually know, personally speaking, any republicans that are voting for Friend. All the ones I know are voting Fahey.
