I remember somebody here warned him that he should do that, but he didn't take their good advice...
That was I, the day the big guy announced.
I thought it was a mistake he announced his candidacy right there on Skins's island, but that couldn't be helped; it was already a
fait accompli, a done thing, and one can't go back and change history.
It would've been better if he announced in front of the office of the Sarpy County Democrats, or at the city hall, or something like that, no mention of it on Skins's island.
However, I thought the damage could be minimized if after that announcement, the big guy just evaporated from Skins's island. No message of farewell, no other sorts of comments. Just immediately going out the door without explanation.
The idea being that by spring (he announced last autumn, remember), Omaha Steve would've been forgotten, and in real life, no one would've connected the primitive Omaha Steve with the real-life personality Steve Dawes, and the big guy could coast on to victory unseen and unsullied.
But did the big guy listen to franksolich, who had his best interests at heart?
N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
I'm
sure the professional Democrats of Sarpy County advised the big guy exactly the same thing; shed all connections with those things that make you come across as a fringe, an extremist, a Hater, an
ultra, a kook, a moonbat.
Instead, he constantly hung around Skins's island, flaunting his primitivity.
I'm not aware that my fellow Nebraskan's blaming anyone yet, for his defeat, but probably if he is, he should be blaming his own self.
