When it comes to life, a victory does not always mean you won nor does it always mean that you lost.

You see... 

...Sometimes you have to light a match before you can start a fire.

...Sometimes you should preheat the oven before you bake a cake.

...AND... sometimes you have to run a race you know you'll lose in order to create a movement... a foundation... that you believe has a real opportunity to be named the winner in future competitions. 

This is what Mark G. Elworth, Jr, the 3rd candidate running for Governor of Nebraska this year, is doing. He will not win this election... but I'd say he can declare victory. Don't just take our word for it either.

Pretty crazy... If the election was based on Facebook Likes, Mr. Elworth Jr. would be winning by a landslide. Pretty interesting stat, aye? 

Maybe it has something to do with his competition taking bad advice and deciding not to provide their information to VoterSnap... probably not. :) 

OMAHA, NE - Republicans across Nebraska, and especially in Omaha, are breathing a bit easier today.  A mere two weeks after State Senator Annette Dubas exited the race for Governor, Democrats best hope of ousting Lee Terry, Omaha City Council President Pete Festersen, also decided he needed more time with "family" and less time on the campaign trail.
