Nebraska insiders say that the second district—which includes Omaha and has one electoral vote—is solidly in play, and that Kerrey can help Obama win it.
Kerrey and Obama are coordinating in their campaigns to take advantage of their shared ballot, Nebraska Republican Party executive director Jordan McGrain told the Free Beacon…
The Obama campaign office in the second district is “a little storefront,” according to Boomer, but it will be ground zero for what Boomer predicts will be a “major effort, a huge ground war with paid staff” on the Obama campaign’s part.
“At this point in time, Obama, Kerrey, and our opponent in the congressional race are pretty much running as a team in Omaha,” Boomer said.
Democratic leaders reportedly pushed onetime presumptive Democratic nominee Chuck Hassebrook out of the Senate race in favor of Kerrey.
