You know, the big guy seems to have evaporated, other than sporadic appearances on Skins's island.
Even people on the ground in Bellevue and thereabouts admit to no action by the big guy, while the two (R) and the one (L) candidate are all over the city and in the media, like syrup on pancakes.
In the big guy's absence, one can only speculate (and I'll bet I'm not far off, if off at all):
(a) Marta's still banging him over the head with a rolling pin, and the kids and kids-in-law are pointing and guffawing at the big guy, for having made himself look such a fool;
(b) the professional Democrats of Sarpy County are coldly ignoring him for the same reason, but as they can't really disavow him, they're trying to keep him stuffed in the attic, like a "funny" shoe-string relative;
(c) the big guy's bosses and co-workers at the waterworks are pissed at him because of some of his indiscretions uttered on Skins's island about them;
(d) the big guy's union is pissed about him for the same reason as (c) above;
(e) the owner of Goldenrod Printing in Lincoln is incessantly telephoning him, reminding him that the yard-signs are ready, and he can have them as soon as he ponies up the cash--but not before.
These are only
speculations, but again, I'll bet I'm not far off, if off at all.
And we do know for a fact (f) that
www.electstevedawes.com is garnering more interest and traffic than the big guy's first flub at trying to create a campaign web-site. The big guy should be happy about all the work his friends did for him, but oddly, he's not.
It's a miserable situation; even if the big guy were to pawn his superlarge superdeluxe television set to pay the printing bill, that'd take care of only a small part of the trials and tribulations he laid upon his own shoulders.
The big guy is not a happy camper right now.
If the big guy had listened to franksolich last autumn, and heeded his counsel and advice (which is perhaps exactly the same counsel and advice of professional Democrats in Sarpy County), none--I repeat, none--I re-repeat, none--I re-re-repeat, none--of this would be happening.
If the big guy had listened to franksolich last autumn, probably the big guy would be headed for second in the primary, putting him on the general election ballot in November.
But did the big guy pay any attention to his fellow Nebraskan?
N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
The big guy, who's approaching senior-citizenship, needs to learn a lesson he should've learned decades ago; he's not the smartest guy around, and there's nothing wrong with accepting the help of those brighter than him.
