NE Rasmussen: McCain up 19 among Cornhuskers

[Lunar]

Congressional breakdowns? Or does Rasmussen continue to fail?

At +19 it's probably pretty pointless.

I think it'd be interesting because Kerry and Gore both did about 15% better in Douglas County than they did statewide.  19% is a *lot* better than either of them and one has to wonder where that improvement is coming from - perhaps disproportionately from the one CD he's advertising in?

I wonder if this is enough from Obama to carry a CD...probably not, though.

Tradition would suggest he's somewhere under five in that CD, possibly very close if Omaha is sliding towards him relatively higher than the rest of the state, not an unreasonable guess but not necessarily accurate either.

Obama is down 19% and you people are asking if he's going to win a CD there?

Read Lunar's post.

It's hard to have an intellectual discussion about Obama potentially expanding the electoral map here.  100% of McCain supporters and about 50% of our knowledgeable posters understandably oppose the idea.

My argument is this: Obama's internal polling & advertising apparatus is far more aware than even the wittiest posters here.  I do not like explanations of the macro map without justifications for current spending & organization patterns by people smarter than us.  I mean, throw it away as a bluff or whatever, few articulate why that bluff, in an expert perspective, could be worth millions of dollars.

edit: I just made a far more whiny and arrogant thread about the above-mentioned topic
