Nebraska's 2nd congressional district

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I've posted this reality in several other threads, but I'll tell the straight-up truth again. 

When the legislature redrew the districts last year, they put the most Republican part of Sarpy County in CD-2.  The Bellevue, NE part of the district (still Republican, but less so) was moved to CD-1; the Lincoln-based district. 

With these new boundaries, Obama would have lost CD-2 in 2008.  Hence, his chances to carry CD-2 in 2012 are essentially nil, unless Romney implodes big time.

You keep saying this, but it's still not true.

Gosh, Johnny, I thought you liked me in spite of my partisan allegance.  

Please clarify, what am I saying that is not true?  (I cannot get your link to work.)
