There has been so much hype with the possibility of Obama being able to steal one of Nebraska's 5 electoral votes. The above data shows that Nebraska is a truly conservative state that will continue to stay RED. The data also shows how out of touch all three Democratic candidates are with the principles and values of Nebraskans. Barack Obama, Scott Kleeb, and Jim Esch are all inexperienced candidates who stand for nothing and will fall for anything!
