webfarmerI thought the 2nd district (Omaha metro area) was a done deal for McCain but obviously not. Maybe my puny local effort helped after all. The early and provisionals will probably lean for Obama.
Electoral Vote in Nebraska's 2nd District Still Up for Grabs - Newser.com - 05 Nov 08
"Nebraska was never a swing state, but its unique system of assigning electoral votes has left it with a surprising question mark after election night. The 2nd Congressional District, which includes Omaha, remains too close to call, with John McCain leading President-elect Barack Obama by 569 votes. And 9,000 provisional and early ballots are still uncounted, reports the Omaha World-Herald.
Republicans hail the close race as a testament to the GOP's strength in the face of a tough challenge, while Democrats are thrilled to even have contested the deep-red state. Nebraska has trended predictably Republican since 1970; in 2004 President Bush took 59% of the 2nd District's vote. Nebraska's four other electoral votes will go to McCain."
