Omaha could be deciding vote in presidential election (1 EC vote)

Television ads aside, Omahans might be feeling a little neglected these days as the presidential campaigns bear down with a laser focus on the remaining handful of swing states.

Just across the river, Iowans have been awash in campaign rallies with the candidates themselves and top-level surrogates such as former President Bill Clinton.

Ohio, seen as ground zero, has gotten special attention. Even Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., flew to the Buckeye State to stump for Republican Mitt Romney last month.

But eastern Nebraska has not seen the same level of interest from the campaigns despite at least some scenarios in which the election could be decided by Omaha-area voters.

FULL story at lunch.
