Nebraska

successful businessman makes a horrible governor.

They think that they are running the state for the bottom line of mythical shareholders, but conveniently seem to forget that the ONLY "shareholders" they should be concerned about are actually the citizens of the state. These "shareholders" should be getting services of the state rather than dividends.

To the extent these nincompoops cannot deliver on such services, they are failures. Ricketts can join the long line of GOP Governor failures, although not all of them were businessmen in another incarnation. They are, however, ALL wedded to the "no new taxes," fees-for-services, and privatization-of-public-services ideology of today's Republican Party.
