1 for 4. Ouch.
If there is any doubt about just how short the Governor's coattails really are, look at it this way: Governor Heineman endorsed Pete Ricketts in 2006, Mitt Romney earlier this year, and Paul Eurek, James Arthur Jeffers, and Beau McCoy in yesterday's primary. His appointee in District 18, Scott Lautenbaugh, also faced election for the first time yesterday.
None of those candidates won their contests.
UPDATE:
Apparently two South Omaha candidates – Chris Moles (LD 7) and Rebecca Barrientos-Patlan (LD 5) – have claimed Heineman's endorsement in campaign mailers and other materials. Unfortunately, there isn't a source readily available:
LD 5:
Heath Mello 61%
Rebecca Barrientos-Patlan 26% (Heineman endorsed)
LD 7:
Jeremy Nordquist 67%
Christopher Moles 33% (Heineman endorsed)
