The Democrats 6 Months

The democrats in the state of Nebraska are feeling good right now they have majorities on both the Lincoln and Omaha city councils. They also hold the mayor's offices in both and retained the Omaha's mayor office this last year. Thats not a bad 2009 but now that the 2009 election cycle is over so are the democrats chances of actually winning. The democrats at the Morrison-Exxon dinner were feeling rowdy from what it sounds like. They believe they are Goliath slayers ten feet tall and 500lbs. But now they have to find candidates that can compete in state wide elections which means the 1st CD and the 3rd CD will be be voting which means the democrats have to play to voters that are outside of the Lincoln-Omaha metro areas.
The democratic party chairman Vic Covalt insisted that they will field a full slate of candidates which I still hold as a long shot. State Senator Steve Lathrop is already backing down from a race for governor. Maybe the democratic party will dust off Scott Kleeb and make him a three-time loser or maybe even Jay Stoddard. The knight on the white horse is supposed to be State Senator Tom White a congressional candidate is going to headline your parties ticket. This will be good republicans can beat Tom White and get him out of the Unicameral at the same time. It is an election year for his legislative seat next year. The democrats reached the height of their influence. 2010 will be a good strong year for the Nebraska GOP.
