My best friends were in Omaha. All were very wealthy and friendly to all. I recall Nebraska was almost solid Dems in 70-80. I traveled from Omaha to Scottsbluff once a month on business. If I recall it was about 430 miles at 55 MPH. Stopped over at North Platte to relax on Sunday evening. Best folks I ever met/knew in any place were in Nebraska.
Difference of night and day between eastern and western Nebraska. The eastern 1/3 of the state tends to be moderate to liberal in their political ideology; whereas the rural western 2/3 are significantly conservative to libertarian - with a few democrat pockets thrown in just to irritate the rest of us who live out here on the prairie.
