Lee terry has an interesting primary in 2010. Against Omaha businessman Matt Sakalosky who seems to be from the ideological only side of the Republican party. It makes you wonder if candidate Matt is Pat Toomey junior. Lee Terry has a solid conservative voting record and yet candidate Sakalosky believes for this one vote Rep.Terry no longer deserves to represent the 2nd district. This is what you call an ideologue pure and simple Rep. Terry is no moderate but he is no ideologue either. For the exception of Rep.Fortenberry Nebraskans traditionally don't vote for ideologues. Nebraskans usually vote for candidates that have a pragmatic approach, principles are a good thing but you govern with pragmatism.
You must also challenge candidate Sakalosky, in his positions page he says he wants to role back TARP. How does he plan to do this in the minority party and as a freshman congressman.
Also we must look at when he speaks of taxes fair for all citizens what does that mean. Is he for a flat tax or not what does his tax policy mean. His stance against stem cell research is he for any medical research if he is he doesn't say so. He simply takes the ideological stance of no embryonic stem cell research but does not say what he is for.
Candidate Sakalosky is starting in a whole and the DCCC is probably overjoyed too see Rep.Terry however with Sakalosky an ideologue they should save their money on the general election.
