re: #246 HappyWarrior

Okay but you did ignore my other points) That Mello in fact outperformed the previous Dem candidate for mayor in that city and that ultimately Omahans voted against him and suggesting that the DNC didn’t back him out of spite towards Sanders is silly. You may not like hearing this but your state with the exception of that one district that went for President Obama in 2008 is a heavily Republican state. The DNC only has so much political capital to invest in.

Ultimately Omahans didn’t turn out for the election. Democrats are 60% of the electorate in Omaha,

The Post and Wall Street Journal articles did the damage. Stothert won the 2013 election by beating the incumbent Democratic mayor Jim Suttle.
