Daub sees real shot to be mayor
BY C. DAVID KOTOK
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Hal Daub wants another shot at being Omaha's mayor and is promoting himself as having the firepower to take on all comers, including the man who narrowly beat him - incumbent Mayor Mike Fahey.


Hal Daub circulated a memo from his pollster to assure potential supporters.

Daub has circulated a memo from his pollster to potential supporters that contends he would be a formidable candidate.

A survey by prominent national Republican pollster Neil Newhouse shows Daub leading Fahey by 5 percentage points in a hypothetical head-to-head contest for mayor, if the race were held at the time of the survey.

"We disagree with those findings," said Paul Landow, Fahey's chief of staff. Landow also disputed Newhouse's assertion that the survey uncovered strong sentiment for change in the Mayor's Office.

Daub announced last month that he was running for mayor. Fahey has not said whether he will seek a third term.

The mayor has done his own polling, but, as with other polls taken for Fahey, the results are private and will not be made public, Landow said.

1. Just what Omaha needs
Edited on Fri Jun-13-08 04:33 PM by residentfan
another do-nothing Republican to rest under the laurels and accomplishments of his Democratic predecessor who he defeated in an election. I've seen this crap happen over and over again. It never stops. However, I think the current mayor is popular enough to shit can this guy, and I hope forever.

2. Really?
You think Fahey is popular? The recent issue with Sokol and how he handled it (AND during the CWS) probably just sadled us with Daub.

3. Sokol is back in
Hopefully, this will blow over. I cannot tell you how many people I work with who pay NO attention to politics were aware of this and were ticked at Fahey. However, maybe they are all blind sheep who would have voted for Daub no matter what.

Either way, I think Fahey has ticked off too many people to get re-elected. I wish someone else would step up so we don't get Daub back.

4. Elkhorn gives Daub the win

7,000 people will vote anybody but Fahey. More than the margin in the first fight. Then add in the South Omaha you cost us the CWS and it ain't pretty. Police and fire Dept's. will be against him too. It adds up.
