Omaha goes Obama

It won’t be confirmed until tomorrow, but it looks like even Omaha, Nebraska will be going blue, giving Obama exactly one more electoral vote!

As I have family in Omaha, I’ve been hearing how the city was abuzz about Obama for weeks now.  In the past, Democrats focused their energies over the line in Iowa as there was generally no chance of winning in Nebraska.

With Obama it was different.  Not only did the Democrats actually have a presence in Omaha – they had three offices and 1,500 volunteers, including many who had only dabbled in presidential politics in the past.

I could not be more pleased.  Omaha is where Bush goes when the polls are down.  Omaha is in a state called Big Red.  Omaha is where the conservative Gallup polling organization is.  And is home to Omaha steak, for god’s sake!

A self-described mutt named Barack Hussein Obama won the presidential election in Omaha.

What a country!
