Dennis Hastert in Lincoln to campaign for Osbourne
This almost makes me want to re-think all the good things I've said about Osbourne, if that fat troll likes him. Don't look now but TO is in a dead heat with Hinneman. I've seen 2 polls, one had TO by a small margin and the other had DH with a small margin. I wonder which way the Nabity voters will break, or if they will follow through and vote Nabity. I also wonder who can get their people to turn out. Any other thoughts?

1. Yeah, if this current line up of candidates for governor is the best we
can do, we are soooooooooo screwed.

Why exactly do you like Osborne so much? Just because he could coach football is not any damn reason that they guy can run a state. And seriously, why does everyone think he's this moral paragon? He protected a number of the players on his team from charges and publicity that any other kid would have found himself in the slammer or in the newspaper for committing (Christian Peter comes to mind).

Why do people think that a big name in sports or entertainment translates to a whup-ass politician? Shit, that thinking gave us Ronald Reagan. And we are where we are today because of that shitheel.

2. Yeah that's the reason
You don't seem to understand, in Nebraska you don't have any major sports teams, so they look to there major college teams as there major sport teams and the crap that osborne did, leading the cornhuskers in all those national championships well, he's a god in this state.

But he dosen't impress me, i watch him on the house floor making speeches and i can't stand listening to this guy for 5 minutes cause he's basically monotone and boring as whale shit.

But that's my opinion though, i could be wrong.

Frankly, I HATE Heineman. TO will do the least damage and he will even try to do the right thing for Nebraska eventhough he doesn't really know what that is. Heineman is doing all he can for special interests and totally selling out rural Nebraska. Basically, Tom is going to try to do the right thing and listen to what the people want and that's what I like best about him.

and by the guy below, I meant the guy above me, Daylin Byak
