Hah… I was playing the election game last week and pulled the same thing. My opposing Republicans were so busy defending Texas and shoring up Florida that they didn’t even notice me taking Nebraska.
I really hate the meta of clickbait articles. It seems like an interesting story but the title kills my interest. No shade thrown at OP just hate what journalism had been reduced to.
Yeah, profit incentives have warped the world in a lot of not so pleasant ways, but man do you really feel it with journalism. Even when it's good journalism or a compelling story :/
“Dan Osborn, the independent Nebraska Senate candidate”
Just had another thought: what would happen if the senate went independent? It’s something that is a remote possibility if enough people worked towards it.
They'd work together, form factions, there'd be more discussion I'd guess.
Still think there is 5% of the voting population that haven't heard his first name and assume it is Tom.
As a resident of Nebraska I really hope enough people make this mistake or assume it's Tom's son and vote for him out of husker pride that he gets elected. But realistically Debby is gunna win again
