	New Nebraska Network: Billionaire Ricketts Family BUYS the Nebraska Republican Party
		At the same time Pete Ricketts was purchasing his first attack ads against Ben Nelson, he was already paying off the campaign debt of the man he'd just beat in the primary - Don Stenberg - making the maximum contribution permissible under the law and getting some of his family to do the same.
		The Ricketts family has empowered them - indulging their worst and most ugly instincts, hopefully to the point that the already alienated public rejects this whole cursed marriage of Ricketts' fortune to the Republicans' fate.
		Ricketts, Smith, and all the legislative candidates seeking to reap reward from this pathetic strategy have earned the scorn and the rejection of Nebraska's voters.
