Here is an article running today in the Omaha World Herald:

IMO, this is a real mess. Neither declared candidate for the Dems is remotely electable and either will only serve to help split the vote and re-elect Ricketts. I have to wonder what sort of Game Kleeb is playing?
Vanessa Ward does not appear to have a campaign web site, just a Facebook page with lots of religious stuff. She's a real winner.
I know little about the principals in this whole thing but I wonder if this isn't the work of the 'pure' Progressive wing of the party who doesn't want to compromise with a Krist candidacy?
For God's sake, Nebraska Dems. Cut it out. But some of them won't. Ricketts will walk back in.
They literally offered Krist the Democratic party nomination and he said he could never run as a Democrat. He's a Republican. You have to draw the line somewhere. Elections are supposed to provide choices, and while yes you want to nominate electable candidates it shouldn't be a race between a conservative Republican and a moderate Republican. There should be real options on the ballot.
Even if the Democratic nominee loses, the voters deserve an actual choice.
