[Husker] TO to run for governor

[Mike and Kelly Petersen]

You don't have to have a clue to figure out that anyone who claims to not
care at all if someone is the next governor and states over and over again
how it doesn't matter in the least about his political aspirations and then
makes several posts concerning such aspirations, probably is blowing a whole
lot of smoke up somewhere :)

I was personally hoping he would hold out for a little higher position in
Lincoln in a couple years.
