I am not at all surprised by Paul’s 13%. I just moved out of the state, but when I was there, the RP Meetups were big and lively — often going across the state line to help out in Iowa. Even Nebraskans for Peace has been quite active lately.

As far as the state goes, the demographics of Nebraska are changing rapidly: over 70% of the population now lives in greater Omaha and Lincoln, with an ever-increasing percentage of the workforce employed in finance, insurance, and IT — Obama is even polling within the margin of error in the state; NE awards electoral votes by congressional district, and Obama will probably win the two urban districts. It is a strong reflection on the disastrous state of the GOP when a state Bush won by 28 and 33 percent in 2000 and 2004 is now neck-and-neck. Red State Fascism is now being rejected even in garrison, another sign that the rEVOLution continues to roll along.
