Something else interesting to note: roughly 17,000 votes have been cast in the Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate...but only 13,500 votes for the Democrat primary for the President.
This means 3,500 Democrats in Nebraska don’t even care enough about Obama’s re-election that they didn’t even cast a ballot...not definitive, but it sure doesn’t show an energized Democrat base.
Obama took one or two electoral votes from Nebraska in 2008. I bet that doesn’t happen in 2012.
re: “but it sure doesn’t show an energized Democrat base.”
I agree, especially when you see that 32,000 republicans have voted in the primary so far, and only about 17,000 on the Dems side.
Obama now has 6,000 votes less than the number of votes for the Dem Senate race. That means 6000 people so far have not cared enough to vote for Bamby! Not a good sign for the Bamster!
