He actually thinks that his secret is worrisome to us. 
Come on Stevie we know you pretty well now and when you have a secret it always turns out to be pretty much nothing.
I'm trying to figure out what this rumor is, about a primary winner.
There were no high-profile primary contests in Nebraska this year, other than that for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator, which was won by my fellow Sandhillsian and dutch508's next-door neighbor, Deborah Fischer.
You may recall that as late as the Saturday preceding the primary the following Tuesday, the pundidiots had speculated she'd finish no better than a distant third, and more likely than that, fourth.
The talking faces on television have no understanding of Nebraska. Her votes from the Sandhills didn't amount to much, a few thousand. Nebraska's a pretty small state, but a few thousand votes isn't going to get a state-wide candidate very far, if anywhere at all.
However, such is the respect and awe in which
other Nebraskans--Omahans, Lincolnians, Bellevueans, Grand Islanders, those on the farms of deep-black-soil Nebraska, those on the ranches in the butte counties; all very different from here--hold Sandhillsians, those who know Nebraska immediately pegged her the winner.
Whatever the rumor is, it can't be about her.
However, those in the camp of her opponent, a has-been former governor and senator, were notorious during the 1982 gubernatorial election in Nebraska, for spreading lies and falsehoods and slanders about the then-Republican governor, Charles Thone.
If there's anyone in America who understands how Sarah Palin feels, it's Charles Thone.
Well, that worked for them in 1982, but it won't work now, because due to the internet, Democrats don't monopolize the flow of information any more.
I suspect the big guy's "big story" involves some minor local primary race.
