Exclusive: Raimondo Might Not Back Kleeb

Posted:

   EX-REPUBLICAN WON'T COMMIT

       It started as a simple question to both Scott Kleeb and Tony Raimondo, but Raimondo's answer, well that's why they call it news.

     JORDAN: If you don't win will you support Raimondo in the fall?  

     KLEEB:  We need to have a united party. So I would extend my congratulations to him and I would be sure to vote for him,  and I hope that he would do the same for me.

     JORDAN: "If you don't win will you support Scott Kleeb in the fall?

     RAIMONDO:  I'll go through endorsements after that, I'm really focused on winning.

       That's right Raimondo, who up until five months ago had been a life-long Republican, is not promising Democratic party unity.

     JORDAN:   They (Obama and Clinton) always say yes, you're not saying yes.

     RAIMONDO:  No I'm not saying yes because I think that's so much political rhetoric, that they say the right thing. I'm gonna say the candid thing, I'll think about that later."

     JORDAN:  "He (Raimondo) didn't say yes and he didn't say no.

     KLEEB:     Makes you wonder doesn't it, makes you wonder.

     JORDAN:  What does it make you wonder?

     KLEEB:    Well it just makes me wonder....  AFTER A FEW MORE SECONDS....

                     Well I won't put that on tape.

       At least one top Omaha Democrat tells me Raimondo's comment, "Is about the dumbest thing you could say."
