Nebraska

Outlook: Solid Republican

5 Electoral Votes (5 in 2000)
Bush won in 2004 by 33.22%

Nebraska is certainly a Red state, as evidenced by its Republican governor, lack of Democratic members in the House, heavily Republican unicameral legislature, and 33 percent margin of victory for George W. Bush in 2004. The only Democrat on the national scene from Nebraska is Ben Nelson, who may be the most conservative Democrat in Washington. Its five electoral votes are John McCain’s to lose, which could happen, since its election rules state that if one of its congressional districts goes Blue, Barack Obama stands to gain that electoral vote.
