Kerrey traded on his war record and “moderate Democrat” credentials in the past, but I think Ben Nelson cured Nebraskans of that disease.

If campaign finance contributions are an indicator, the state is 73/27% R vs D, so your number may not be far off. As is the case across the rural midwest, the urban areas of Omaha and Lincoln are the bluest pockets in a deep red state.
