OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - State Senator Charlie Janssen says he's dropping out of the 2014 governor's race.
The Republican from Fremont tells the Omaha World-Herald that he decided he couldn't win in such a crowded GOP primary field, saying ``I didn't see a clear path to victory.''
The 43-year-old entered the race almost a year ago. Five are now vying for the GOP nod, including Omaha businessman Pete Ricketts and State Auditor Mike Foley.

Is he going to give donors their money back????

That's too bad, I like him.
Nobody thought Deb Fisher had a chance, and look where she is.

Charlie wasn't going to get a $2M check at the last moment from "Daddy" Ricketts a week before the election......

This is not good!

I imagine Daddy R. will invest in his own kin!
By the way, anyone seen Bob Kerrey around lately?

Anyone know Mike Foley's 2A views? He's done a good job as auditor but I don't know much else about him.

I like Foley, and I think he'd be good on gun issues. He caught a lot of flack for leading the charge to pass a bill, and then override the Governors veto, that didn't exclude illegal immigrants from obtaining prenatal care under the state medicaid program. He said it was a matter of being prolife and that he wasn't willing to treat unborn children differently based on who their parents are.
From what I read, Bruning may get in the race and Janssen may be trying to line up the Lt. Gov. spot on the ticket under Bruning.
