2. And ignorant remarks like this are why it's not worth the effort to try. Nebraska

matters all right. In the end there is a something called a general election. And if the votes don't go right, well, think back to the past 7 plus years. There's always the chance. Until you read shit like this by those who are 'all seeing and all knowing'.

Dismiss states as not being worth it and you'll be goosestepping to the regime of John McCrazy for sure.
