Re: 2017 Omaha Mayoral Election
Mello is a young Suttle or Fahey. Spend, spend, spend, and give in to OFD. Spend only in those areas that vote Democrat. Tax only in areas that vote republican. The Jim Suttle mantra.

Re: 2017 Omaha Mayoral Election
I predict it will come down to more of a party-line vote, much like the way most republicans ended-up voting for Trump even while they cringed. But Mello has a really good chance, since Dems still outnumber Repubs in Omaha, I believe. Her refusal to vote for Trump might even pull in a few Dems who ...

Re: 2017 Omaha Mayoral Election
So there are a good amount of voters in West O that either don't care for Stothert or want an NFL team. What does that mean in the General? They didn't vote for Mello but couldn't stomach voting for Stothert. 5000 votes up for grabs. Unless they write in "Taylor."
