Because of a misunderstanding, Marta and I didn't file before yesterdays deadline. There is a moratorium for a couple months on filing for our races. Our opponents didn't file yet either.

I'm running for the city council against a very well connected Republican.

Marta is running for the school board.

Today was the county party running for office seminar. As soon as I have a treasurer, I will have a Act Blue page for those that asked for it a few weeks ago. Critical since the state just removed all campaign donation limits: http://www.omaha.com/article/20110827/NEWS01/708279920/0#state-not-enforcing-campaign-limits

Steve & Marta

And there you have it. Exciting, no ?

[franksolich]

Yeah, right.

You know, I have this really strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that if my fellow Nebraskan had taken me up on my offer to be his campaign manager, he'd have a less-rocky road ahead for him.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; the scorn of a woman hath no fury like franksolich scorned.

What are they promising to give to "the people" free...ponies, horses, SKITTLE shitting unicorns or the usual...dead jackasses.

My fellow Nebraskan has virtually no chance at all.

Her, if she lies and tries to be a "stealth" candidate, has a slight chance.

[Tucker]

I see a wallduding in somebodies future.

And it's our job to ensure that their combined chance is exactly zero.

[franksolich]

I see a wallduding in somebodies future.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, in case my fellow Nebraskan missed it the first time I said it.

I'm sure my fellow Nebraskan would know me, or of me, in real life.

All he needs to do is project his memory back circa 15-16-17 years.  I was in the Omaha World-Herald at least once every two weeks, either page 2 of the first section (national and international news) or page 1 of the second section (Nebraska) news, for almost two years.

I wasn't any one-time big splash, but a constant ripple, and that's why people in the World-Herald circulation area once in a while remember me today, after all those years.

Omaha Steve is a diligent reader of the Omaha World-Herald; has been, for years, for decades.

But probably my fellow Nebraskan found the stories a little disturbing.  Remember, Omaha Steve was the guy who was begging for free rides and free tickets to some football game in Wisconsin, as if he doesn't have his own stash of cash.

Where franksolich went, and what franksolich did, was wholly on his own dime; not a cent from anybody else.

So maybe Omaha Steve doesn't want to remember me.  But he could, if he sat down and thought some.

I don't --
--But I suspect its because I see little to no chance of him getting the job to be Wallduded from in the first place.

[franksolich]

They're both running in an area something like circa 67-75% current or retired military.

However, people don't pay much attention to races for the school boards, and she has a slight chance if she lies about her political stances, trying to appear moderate rather than far-left-wing radical.

[Tucker]

The actual walldude won't come from us. As in past elections, his opponent will get certain links sent to him and they can proceed from there.

I must have it on my other computer but just recently, Steve had a letter published in a communist website. That will most certainly get sent to his opponent. Bring into the open his connections to socialism. I don't think that the good people of Omaha would stand for that.

Remember, Omaha Steve was the guy who was begging for free rides and free tickets to some football game in Wisconsin, as if he doesn't have his own stash of cash.

Yeah, that was funny. He was begging for free football tickets, though hardly any DUmpmonkeys are football fans, preferring the Chinese firedrill of sophisticated Eurotrash soccer. And he was begging for a free sleeping room so he could visit Madison to help vandalize the state capitol building. Yet he'll probably miss a week of his big campaign this fall when he travels to California for the Mork And Mindy Fan Club Convention.

If he has a particularly spirited campaign, especially if he accepts franksolich's offer to manage it, there's an outside chance of a runnerup slot in the DOTY voting. But it just occurred to me that right there at the DUmp he has a colleague who's a veteran of national campaigning, a former deputy special assistant to the press attache intern on the presidential campaign committee of Rep. Dennis Kucinich. If you recall what a masterpiece that campaign was, you can see how a mere city council election would hardly be a challenge. And he has another DUmbass colleague who can fill the mailboxes of Omaha with junk mail that will make everyone understand how their lives will be improved with DUmmy Omaha Steve at City Hall. Well, at least he could fill their mailboxes with blank speech bubbles.

[franksolich]

I don't think that the good people of Omaha would stand for that.

Uh, I don't think the bad people of Omaha, such as they are, would bother voting for him.

Omaha Steve's a freeloader, a bum, a guy looking for a free ride.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Almost right -  If he's elected, the people aren't getting Jack, but the other two parts of it would apply.

[franksolich]

You know, it looks like to me the people who ran the county Democrat "running for office" seminar didn't do their homework.

If I were a Democrat strategist, the first thing I'd say would be "don't post on Skins's island."

I very much doubt the democrat party is putting a lot of preparation or effort into this race.

And, I'm not sure, but I don't think DUmmy Steve is even running at this point. He's just trying to get into the democrat primary.

He'll have to win the nomination before he can run. Still too early to start speculating on his White House china pattern.

[GOBUCKS]

Well, now I'm really confused.

Omaha doesn't have a council election until November, 2013.
What town does this moonbat live in?

What about school board? Marta is not a common name in the US. She should be easy to find.

[franksolich]

Bellevue, Papillion, or whatever.

In Sarpy County, one of the suburbs directly south of Omaha.

Even we Nebraskans get them mixed up.

My fellow Nebraskan lives in a suburb rather than in Omaha because taxes are lower.....and yet the freeloading bum draws a paycheck from the hard-pressed taxpayers of Omaha proper.  This may not be much of an issue in other places, but it's a hot issue in Omaha, where the usual feeling is if one's paid by the city, one should live in the city.

[GOBUCKS]

Moonbats hold a couple of city council seats in Bellevue already, so it's apparently not a particularly civilized Omaha suburb. No real surprise, I wouldn't expect DUmbass Steve to live in a nice area.

It's most likely a place where lower middle class whites move from Omaha, to avoid associating with other members of the jug-eared Kenyan's base.

It's obvious what my fellow Nebraskan's after, but it's too late, the barn door's already been slammed shut and locked.

Bellevue, the fourth-largest city in Nebraska, is actually a military town, given it's the location of Offutt Air Force Base.  If I recall correctly, the city council's pretty big, so a couple of moonbats don't make a whole lot of difference.

Anyway, earlier this year it was disclosed that Bellevue was giving all sorts of big salaries, benefits, bonuses, and trainloads of gravy to its elected officials and agency heads and vice-heads.  Way out of proportion to what others in similar positions get elsewhere.

Omaha Steve's entertaining fantasies of getting some of those freebies, of padding an expense account.

Alas, too late.  The barn door's slammed shut, and locked now.

"don't post on Skins's island."

...or Communist websites. 

[formerlurker]

Did they just think of a new way to scam misfits for "campaign" donations.  Misfit Steve is soaking his public employer for disability, so one has to ask how he can campaign when he is too disabled to actually work for public funds. 

Inquiring voters want to know.

He has no chance of making it out of the primary.  His handling of campaign donations should be closely scrutinized however.  Paying for twightlight zone crap off eBay not exactly a qualifying expense.
