Well, it seems even a reliably red state has some blue in it. The Omaha district, NE-2 has voted for Obama. Guess NE becoming RINO too?

Do you remember how hard Obama focused on Omaha? He did not carry the state. In my town of 6000 I know of two people that voted for him. I am not sure in the long run that is enough to change red to much of anything except maybe a bit of maroon. You have to remember one of our two embarrassments comes out of North Omaha- that particular one is the joke that sued God. Every family has some one they would like not to have to claim.

Perhaps the problem was that McCain was too close to being a RINO?

Did you hear about the blue ship colliding, at sea, with the red ship? Both crews were marooned.

I think Nebraska should have to give up football for jump rope. Oklahoma and Texas get to keep their football teams. How did kansas do?

Maybe they were following Mrs. Hagel’s lead. She understood how Midwestern liberals think long ago. For most of the last thirty years, NE has had two Democratic senators in Washington and sometimes Democrat governors too, like the popular Bob Kerrey (with two E’s)?

You can blame on Senator McLame.

Republican turnout was low this time around. Obama had three offices and was very well organized.
