9th inning of Electoral College World Series to be played in Omaha
November 6th, 2008 . by MartySorry, I couldn’t resist the headline. Unfortunately, late word out of Nebraska’s 2nd District that Obama will likely carry the Omaha area, making it truly Oma-bama territory. Since Nebraska and Maine are the two states that split their Electoral College votes, this will be one more vote for Obama. Further proof that states like California and New York should adopt the same system. Somewhere, Gerald Ford - who was born in Omaha - is rolling over in his grave. On the other hand, this might help Omaha-native Chuck Hagel’s chances of getting a cabinet post.
