[Tender Branson]

NE-02 is competetive once again though:

If he's down by only 12% (versus 15% last time), Nebraska could very well be close in November, judging by the way things are going.

That is asking for a lot. At this point, Nebraska offers four sure electoral votes for any Republican nominee and one swing district. I just do not assume that trends have life of their own. Politicians have the responsibility to create their own trend.  "Close" for Nebraska in a nationwide election means about an 8% statewide win for the Republican nominee and the President winning one district. NE-03 is going about as firmly R against any Democrat as Idaho, Utah, or Wyoming. 

But down 12% vs. down 15% in a very conservative state? That bodes well for the national race.

Yeah. That's a bit of a stretch. Outside of Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska is pretty much East Wyoming.

Most Nebraskans live near Lincoln and Omaha. Those are fast-growing areas, while rural Nebraska stagnates.

Just the combined census designated counties for metro Lincoln and Omaha (Nebraska side only) voted McCain in 2008. And the rest of the state, of course is overwhelminghly Republican. You may as well argue that Laramie is going to make Wyoming close.

I'm not entirely familiar with Nebraska Republicanism, but why/how is Rick Santorum polling higher than Mitt Romney and furthermore, how is Obama pulling better numbers against Romney than Santorum? He may have that mid-western appeal, but shouldn't Romney still be outperforming Santorum here in a general election match-up?

I've seen some of your posts before and you just seem like a far-left hack...

Nebraska will not be close, barring something unexpected (scandal, <6% unemployment etc...)

"Close" for Nebraska is that it goes 55-45 for the Republican nominee with one district going for President Obama. I consider Texas a more likely pickup for the President than Nebraska... and one has to be a hack or see some funny stuff going on (I don't see that yet) for Texas to get close.

When pbrower calls you a hack...

Klecly,

That's just Bandit being Bandit. I wouldn't compare him to some of the more malicious hacks on this site.

Bandit is not a hack. He's optimistic.

Is that comparable? I thought they changed the map?
