The first posted results are from early voting....

So far, this is a GOOD SIGN for Mayor Stothert :)

[ak267]

FYI: In typical Omaha mayoral elections the Democrats often have an early lead.

Word has it that the Rep’s expended a healthy amount of time/money in early voting in deep read areas (Western Omaha).

If you’re ever there visit the zoo. It’s world class.

[ak267]

Don’t want the pay cut ;)

[MountainDad]

It’s world class.

It's the world's best!

When I lived in Des Moines we’d visit several times a year.

Decision Desk HQ calls it for Stothert

Dang, that was quick, even for them....

I am surprised that NE has partisan mayoral elections since it has nonpartisan races for its one-house legislature.

[MountainDad]

If you haven’t been there recently, you need to go back.

That place is always adding something.

Never understood why they don’t get the recognition the other zoo’s get...

Unicameral here is nothing more than a glorified homeowners association! It sucks!

[ak267]

Stothert (R) lead increases to about 7k

[Husker24]

All the “nonpartisan” legislator does is allow liberal nannystaters to hide easier.

“Stothert wrote in McCain in the general presidential...”

I guess he’s probably better then the Rat.. probably.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

The far left did not turn out for Mello because he is pro-life, antiabortion.

If you are a antiabortion Democrat, you’re toast with the base of the Democratic Party.

Bob Casey and Joe Manchin should be shaking in fear.

[ak267]

Race is called.....Stothert (R) wins the Mayoral Election

[ak267]

Who was the former Democratic Gov of PA (old school popular Dem) who was dis-invited (at the last minute) from speaking at the DNC convention in the 1990s??? He was pro-life and that irked the DNC when they found out.
