1. Congrats

I'm big enough to admit I'm wrong. I'm proud of Nebraska for going "purple". I hope the best of luck in the future to you state.

2. WAY TO GO OMAHA WORKERS!!!

I am so proud of the vote in Omaha.
Needless to say the repubs are worried and want to change the system..

From the Omaha World Herald:

Nebraska Republicans have tried repeatedly to repeal the 1991 law, and several said the excitement generated by this year's election hasn't changed their minds.

Gov. Dave Heineman and other leading Republicans argue that the law subverts the intent of the Founding Fathers in creating the Electoral College. They say the law is fundamentally unfair on a national level. Heineman said that he would gladly sign a bill repealing the law and that he expected efforts for its repeal to continue.

4. Was Daub that bad of a mayor?

I know he is a talking piece for the RW. However, I was in Lincoln (in college) for the greater part of his run in Omaha and did not pay much attention to what he did while in charge of Omaha. I do know he was involved in getting the convention center and arena going (this happened when I moved back) and I think that was a good move. Outside of that, I must admit I am naive.
