Yeah, the Clinton machine isn't going to forget Obama flipping off Hillary. If Obama loses and doesn't have his secret service protection he better stay away from parks and small planes.

NE splits its electoral votes and Bambi might take Omaha’s.

Mike Johanns is running to replace Hagel. Former Governor, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Looking good in the polls so far:

from Rasmussen:
Former Republican Governor Mike Johanns now leads Democrat Scott Kleeb 52% to 38% in Nebraska’s Senate race, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.

Johanns’ lead, though still solid, is down from the 25-point advantage he held in July. The closest the race has ever been was 15 points in May.

I guess the internal DemocRAT polls indicate Obamanation isn’t winning a landslide victory of 300+ electoral votes.

How can Nebraska make or break Obama/Biden’s bid for President?

Because Nebraska theoretically splits its electoral votes by congressional district, although that has never happened since the enabling legislation was passed. In all previous presidential elections, all 3 congressional districts were carried by the statewide popular vote winner. Considering there would only be 1 or 2 electoral votes in play, it would have to be an incredibly close election for them to actually matter in the outcome (read my previous post #15).
