Obama probably wanted to visit with the Children of the Corn, possibly spook Mother Abigail...anyone checking the weather reports in Nebraska?...I’m sure a cold front passed through as the Good Man walked the rows.

Surprisingly though NE and ME have never actually split their electoral votes, for their statewide winner has also won all of the districts too.

NE is Republican in presidential elections, but isn’t Omaha staunchly Democrat?

“A taxpayer voting for Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Nice twist on the chicken in every pot meme.

Very, very good.

Nebraska went for Bush by 2-1 in 2004 and by almost that margin in 2000. Some counties were as much as 10-1 in his favor. He lost only one county, Thurston, and that one narrowly (1212 to 1154 votes...he won it narrowly in 2000). That county consists of Indian reservations. Douglas Co. (Omaha) went for Bush by a 3-2 margin in 2004.

I don't know anything about local politics in Nebraska, but the current mayor of Omaha is a Democrat.
