Nebraska Voting
I was so busy with a lot of things, that I didn’t get to write about this until now. There’s all this hullabaloo about who the next American president would be, and with Nebraska voting as well, I can’t help but wonder how things are going to go. As far as I can figure, we have Nebraska voting Republican, at least, many are expecting Nebraska voting for the Republican candidates, who are by the way led by McCain (I actually like him and his policy on the issue of war; makes him seem like a good mix of Democratic and Republican instead of being simply Republican).
That doesn’t mean, however, that you would have Nebraska voting completely on the basis of political parties. We may be a largely Republican state, but I know for a fact that this year, no matter what the numbers say, we will have Nebraska voting for who its people think is right for the country. In the primary caucus back in February 9th, Nebraska voting has yielded a tentative victory for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama (whose dreams and aspirations for our nation are truly inspiring). If this doesn’t show that Nebraska voting shouldn’t be predicted in terms of parties, I don’t know what should.
As far as I could tell no one should predict Nebraska voting by means of generalized Nebraska voting patterns in the past. For anyone to expect a Republican win in Nebraska is a mistake.
