Well, the Lincoln Journal Star has printed the results of Rasmussen's latest polling on the Nebraska primaries. The results are actually pretty much in line with Pete Ricketts' recent poll, which suggests that the former poll was fairly accurate.
In fact, the Rasmussen poll is even better for Ricketts, who breaks the 50% mark, doubling his nearest opponent, Don Stenberg. But the big story is for Dave Heineman. We had no reason to believe that the last poll for the governor's race was inaccurate, but a second poll confirming that the race is a dead heat is huge for Heineman. And, as much as it doesn't matter to the Democrats who wins the primary, I think from an issues standpoint, we'd rather face Heineman. Hahn can engage Heineman on the issues, particularly education, because that's all there is. If Osborne wins the nomination, I doubt we'll even have to see a campaign. You can't criticize Tom Osborne in this state - something Dave Heineman has hardly done at all in his campaign. No one will listen to the criticisms, however valid they may be.

I saw a recent add for TO and it said he was a fiscal conservative. I definitely disagree with his comments on abortion and other issues, but the idea of a balanced state government budget is extremely important to me. He said in his ad that he would make sure to get spending under control before handing out tax breaks. Obviously I will vote for Hahn, but if we have to have a republican I at least hope we have one that will be responsible with our money. This is a major problem with the federal government and I hope we in Nebraska don't make the same mistakes.
