HENRY J. CORDES - - Omaha World-Herald

Lee Terry started his campaign for a fourth term in Congress planning to talk only about himself and his record in Washington, not even mentioning his opponent.
It didn't quite work out that way.
"We've got three or four nice, cute family (television) ads sitting on a shelf somewhere that nobody ever saw," Terry said Wednesday.
Facing attacks on his record from Democrat Nancy Thompson that were weakening his support, Terry turned the guns on Thompson in the final weeks of their campaign in the 2nd Congressional District.
Although the campaign was quite different, the result was surprisingly similar to Terry's previous House races.
He still rang up 62 percent of the vote Tuesday, only slightly less than his victory margin two years earlier.
