     As I have stated many many many times.  I don't have a feeling one 
way or another about his political aspirations or candidacy.  I have 
never said he wasn't qualified.  As a matter of fact I don't think I 
have given much, if any, opinion about his qualifications or lack 
thereof.  I don't think I have stated very often, if at all, what kind 
of job I think he is doing.   I have never said, or implied, his only 
qualification is winning football games.  What I am saying, and have 
said, as far as Nebraska voters are concerned a person  wouldn't have to 
be qualified for anything and could win an election if they had the 
track record TO had as Husker football coach.  In my previous post I 
didn't say TO didn't have a clue.  I said he doesn't HAVE TO HAVE a clue 
and would get voted in.  His candidacy doesn't get my goat.  It's just 
virtually automatic who is going to win.  In the third district all TO 
had to do is declare he was running and it was a given who would win.  
Personally, I don't care if he is Governor or not.  It is fine either 
way.  But, of the voters that vote for TO it would be interesting to 
know how many are voting for him because they have the same political 
feelings or they just recognize his name for being a great football 
coach at NU.  If he isn't Nebraska's next Governor it will be the 
biggest upset since NU beat Oklahoma in 1959 in football IMHO.
