Filing Deadline

The filing deadline has come and past for Nebraska. There were some interesting developments on the democratic side. Kris Pierce has dropped out of the Sec. of State race and is appealing to a group of 4. He wants to fill the vacant seat on the Omaha City Council, a seat which the other city council members get to pick. The democrats have found a candidate for Governor Mark Lakers an Omaha businessman executive. The democrats have several candidates for the CD1 but it won't matter much Congressman Fortenberry will easily dispose of any of the challengers. AG Jon Bruning and Auditor Mike Foley are running un-opposed the democrats pass on the race. None of the democrats are serious major challengers even Tom White appears to be losing steam and all momentum from President Obama is gone.
