[George W. Bush]

NE people are very cautious and hesitant by nature. They may tell you they don’t think Hagel is representing them on immigration and Iraq, but they will still quietly vote to reelect him.

A herd of cats. Being an all-Red state doesn't mean Nebraska is actually very conservative. Still, they denied Osborne the governorship, largely over the in-state tuition for illegals issue. So you never know.

[Theodore R.]

I had forgotten about the demise of Osborne, but again NE stuck with the incumbent. They did turn out a GOP incumbent in 1982 in favor of the popular Bob KERREY.
