Neb. State Auditor Jumps Parties

[cal04]

The GOP lost its lock on the top state government offices this week when State Auditor Kate Witek jumped to the Democratic party just a few months after campaigning as Republican Tom Osborne's runningmate in a failed gubernatorial bid.

"I got to the point where it seemed the Republican Party was only looking at controlling all the offices instead of looking at resolving all the problems challenging this state," Witek said in Friday's Lincoln Journal Star.

The Democratic Party's toehold in the Statehouse leadership won't last long, though.

Witek's second term ends in January and she isn't running again, and no Democrat is running to replace her. In fact, Democrats are challenging Republicans in only two of the five statewide offices this fall.

1. No opponents has been my pet peeve in Ga. TOO!

I contacted EVERY Dem assoc, org, and human I could find after last years election where there were NO, NONE, NOT ONE, Dem challenger on the ballot here for any office under the top one on the ballot! I couldn't believe it! For God sake, you certainly CAN'T win if you don't even PLAY!!!!!

Whay aren't there any Dem opponents in Neb?????

BTW, Howard has done well here in Ga. This year, the Dems have an opponent in EVERY race! I know we may not win many, but damn it, at least we're trying!!!!
