With Nebraska yet another impressive midwestern victory for Obama

[book_worm]

He has won IL, IA, MN, ND, KS, and now NE in the Midwest. I think all but IA by over 60%. He is showing great strenth in a pivotal part of the country.

1. How many actual people do you think turned up?

[book_worm]

3. A lot more than other years.

You shouldn't discount caucuses because real people turn out and vote and select real delegates.

4. But I'm sure the HIllbots will be spinning a massive win in Maine tommorow

:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

omaha demographics:

have to wait for exit polls to see if these 12000 are representative of Nebraska as a whole, or representative of a lot of highly successful GOTV among the democratic minority

I wouldn't get too excited over it being "pivotal."

There were about 370,000 registered Democrats in Nebraska after the 2006 elections. Nebraska has 0.6% of the US population.

2. Nebraska pivotal, r u kidding?

5. you're really worried aren't you?

I said pivotal part of the country--the midwest. Has HRC proved she can win in the midwest yet beyond being the only major name on ballot in Michigan?

6. Honey, we aint ever winning the midwest dont kid yourself

[book_worm]

8. We aren't winning the midwest? So Iowa, MN, WI, IL, OH, MI, aren't going to be democratic?

and maybe a surprise or two elsewhere?

7. woot

up yours, establishment Dems

[Barack_America]

10. And the Midwest shall lead them...

We know what's up.

It's too bad that Michigan had to go an screw everything up, or I'm sure that he would have a Midwestern sweep.

On to Wisconsin, where the results will be similar, I'm sure.
