Democrat Heath Mello loses Omaha mayoral race after abortion controversy
http://hotair.com/archives/2017/05/10/democrat-heath-mello-loses-omaha-m...
Heath Mello is the moderate 37-year-old Democrat who was going to help his party make inroads in GOP-controlled Nebraska by becoming the next Mayor of Omaha. Yesterday he lost that race to Republican Jean Stohert who will return to office for another four-year term.
What’s most interesting about this race wasn’t Mello himself but the sharp division he exposed within the Democratic party over the issue of abortion. Mello, who has been a state representative since 2009 is Catholic and had supported some pro-life measures in the past. For many on the left that was a deal-breaker, even though Mello promised to maintain support for abortion rights as mayor.
There y'a go.
The Mayor of Omaha is magically empowered to dictate the national abortion issue. And that occurred when? But, but Bernie...

So there.
Is there an IDES of June?

A mayor has no influence on such issues
from what I understand about the way laws are enacted and prosecuted in the state of Nebraska. But, I am willing to be educated ...
@PriceRip Then we agree. It was
Then we agree. It was irrelevant to gaining a Dem Mayorship.

We agree, of course.
I am presuming your article reflects the "thoughts" of some people in Omaha.
Nebraska Democrats are very weird (alien perhaps) to me. That is why I was involved with them, with much trepidation, this past election cycle. It is gratifying that the local Buffalo County Democrats is something the central committee might think of as democrat, not so much.
