Big Deal over Unnoticed History


Hello. Today I found an interesting fact that shocked me. Inside of a traditionally republican state, a miracle happened for the democrats. Some of Nebraska, particuarly Omaha, voted partly for Obama. I discovered a picture that shows Obama fans protesting at a republican event (left). Signs like "Obamaha says THANKS but NO THANKS", "BUSH IN A SKIRT", and the simple "OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT" try to make their point. Can you find them all? Many experts made comments. Cary Vigneri said “I think, ‘Yeah, team!’ It’s way cool.”

Ralph Morocco, a Republican turned Obama campaign volunteer said, “We did our part, and it’s nice to see the work pay off.” Many more comments made my source; Visit my source to hear them. Beilieve it or not, I didn't even tell you the real news yet! Nebraska and Maine split their electoral votes but in Nebraska that doesn't normally matter. Due to lack of democrats in Nebraska, the republicans normally obtain all of their elctoral votes. For the first time since 1964, one electoral vote goes to the democrats. One electoral vote didn't make the difference, but it will make history.

One vote may be small. Smaller than small. But it's still a vote. And that's what I wrote.
