How likely are we to get one EV from Nebraska?
How likely are we to get one Electoral College vote from Nebraska? (Which splits it votes by district)
Since I don't care how much Obama wins by, as long as he wins, I usually look at close-race scenarios and it is amazing how many plausible "a good night for Romney" combinations come up 269-269.
(Again, that is not a prediction. Obama is likely to win in the 300s. My curiosity is with the math of winning close.)
If, however, one elector from Nebraska is likely then all of those scenarios go away.
Opinions?

From ALL the states
But seriously, I think we might get the one that we got in 2008: NE 2nd Dist.
and perhaps even pick up another one: NE 1st Dist.
Here's a link with a Chart that lists all the states/result margins for 2008: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_u.s._presidential_election#Result
