Nebraska Republican Hangs On To Obama's Coattails

ABC News:

This ran in the free weekly paper in Omaha, "The Reader"

The ad reads:

"Obama-Terry Voter, anyone?" I'll admit it: I'm voting for Obama and Lee Terry. Why? Because I want our officials to work hard, to be honest, exhibit strong ethics and be accessible. That's Lee Terry. Ever talked with Lee? I have. You ask him questions, you get straight answers. I like that. Please join me in voting for Lee Terry. Paid for by Lee Terry for Congress

Lee Terry is the incumbent REPUBLICAN running for re-election to Congress in Nebraska's second congressional district.

Looks like McCain doesn't have a monopoly on crossing the asile.

Everyone knows that Nebraska is a pinko liberal state.

Omaha- CD2 will go Obama. IF we had gotten it together a bit earlier, we could have taken CD 1 as well. Love seeing Omaha Blue Love seeing Lincoln Blue

I live in Omaha and wouldn't vote for Lee Terry to save my soul from Hades. He is nothing but a little weasle. His dad Lee Sr. is one of the biggest biggots around.

Greetings from Obamaha (Lee Terry's district).

Lee Terry sucks! He has absolutely done nothing in five terms in congress. Although, since he's a complete Bush tool, it's probably better for us that he hasn't. He's obviously ready to jump ship because there are so many Obama signs on people's yards. Along with the Obama signs, Jim Esch is the democratic nominee, and his signs are everywhere. Nebraska's electoral votes can be split, so we're all hoping that we can at least have a nice blue vote coming from Omaha's district.

Go Esch!!

The prospect of death (including political death) can really focus minds.

Question is where were Brother Lee's principles and integrity all these years.

And can someone explain the nice lady's rationale for her political schizophrenia?

John McCain says one thing and often does something else, why do I smell deception?

[Diogenis]

u 2?

[robXdion]

So then why isn't Obama ahead in Nebraska polls??? Surely it must be suicidal for a Republican to tout Obama in a cherry red state, right? CONCLUSION: the polls are gonna be so wrong this time, commentators will be stunned into silence election night.

We are only one of 2 states in the union that can split electorals, the other is Maine. Right now it looks like Obama is set to win our district here in Omaha. That's why the concentration here. Hillary is even supposed to come here on behalf of Obama sometime this week. Anything we can do for an Obama landslide we are more than happy to help!

NO INCUMBENTS -NO WAY -NO HOW -NO MCSAMES- FEEL THE PAIN YOU HAVE INFLICTED ON SO MANY COME TO AVENGE YOU- DON'T SPEAK OF MERCY TRAITOR YOUR NOT WELCOME HERE. YOU BEAR THE DISGRACE OF YOUR OWN. JOIN THEM IN DEFEAT OBAMA'S CLOAK IS NOT YOUR SALVATION.

This could have been mccain's big history making moment. Win or Lose, he had the ability to redefine his party, but instead he turns off even his own party members.

I think everyone sees what the Republicans have done to this country and they are speaking as Americans. Not as a Republican nor Democrat or anything else. I think we are just coming together to take our country.

Dino Rossi, REPUBLICAN candidate for governor in Washington state did the same thing a month ago, but since dropped it and has moved on to the usual lies about incumbent Dem Gov, Christine Gregoire. He also just won a lawsuit filed by the dems because he is using GOP, instead of R next to his name in his campaign. The Repugnicans are hiding from their own party...Hi­larious!!!

[yvonne61]

PEOPLE TRIED OF MCCAIN UNBALANCED WAY HE ACT LIKE A SPOIL JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT. HE THE NEW BOY IN SCHOOL FOR YOU TO BE HIS FRIEND HE TELL YOU WANT HE WANT YOU TO HEARD. PEOPLE TRY OF STUPIDTY AND RECKLESS THAT THE WAY MCCAIN RUN HIS CAMPAGAIN.

Ever notice how Republicans aren't saying they are Republicans anymore???
That one case in NY, I cant remember if it was a state or federal congressional seat, but they put up GOP Party...
Grand Old Party Party?? Redundant redundancy??
The state was going to make them put REPUBLICAN on their signs....

If I wanted to keep my seat, and I was a Republican, I would want to associate myself with Obama too...

The flood gates are opening. What is sad is that at one time there used to be good Republicans, but their insistence on unity of thought, loyalty, and-- call it what you will-- cronyism have run the good Republicans out of town. To most Republicans we have now, it is almost as if they can never do wrong; everybody else does wrong, but them. From the very highest levels they insist that members of their party ignore corruption. They knew they could not have anybody with any fiber of integrity around who might blow their whistle on all thecorruption that is within the Republican party. Don't believe there hasn't beencollusion between the two parties and the leaders whose names begin with a C. It seems this politician is trying to have the best of both worlds in his conservative area that he is running in. I applaud it, but I will only be happy when Republicans are also calling for the impeachment of this administration. Crime is crime regardless of party.

So McDone, after losing in a landslide (fingers crossed), will have to return to Congress and work along side R's who publicly dissed him....Swe­et!

[robotfog]

downright groovy if you ask me.
