7. Don't let them jerks get you down.

They will be crying in their beer when President Obama wins in a landslide in November.

12. Good run, Steve

Good on you to get the issues out to an otherwise clueless red state festering mentality. Hope to see you pull off another run next go-around, hopefully when the GOP is banned so progressives can actually run on issues, and just fighting the suppression of democracy as Houghtaling and Carmichael have disgustingly displayed.

But in a good note, you kicked the crap out of the stupefied Libertarian Knebel.

13. Proud of you for taking a run Steve.

You put yourself out there and fought for your beliefs. Congrats!

14. We're proud of you, Omaha Steve.

You did a great thing by running for office. I always look forward to your posts.

15. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

The poster above is right -- just getting the message out there is a real act of principle. Especially in fly-over country, where those on the right pride themselves on ignorance and regressive ways.

You're a winner, here, always!

17. Hope you try again

I don't know the dynamics out there, but it always seems like elections come down to name recognition. So next time you will have a boost in that area. You are far braver than I!
