Obamaha

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

The plan: To win Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, or Omaha, so if the nightmare scenario happens, Obama wins 270-268.

Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has even taken to calling the city "Obamaha" these days.

Earlier this month, former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., did two events for Obama -- one with veterans, one with a women's group -- back in his former home state; Kerrey says Obama can win there, though polling currently has McCain in the lead.

"They will have a huge field and get out the vote effort, which could add 3 to 4 points more than the polls show," Kerrey tells ABC News. "They are tracking daily and say McCain's lead is low single digits with the trends favorable for Obama." - ABC News

Palin is campaigning in Nebraska tomorrow. The internal polls must be tightening.
