Sunday morning dog walk video on a beautiful morning:

1. What’s a Nebraska Democrat?

2. State of the Union on Husker athletics.

Matt Rhule can’t stop firing coordinators. Not a great place to be.

My sense from talking to campaign people in both parties:

The Ricketts and Pillen races went about how the winning campaigns expected.

Everyone sort of knew Powell would win. But I’m not sure anyone had her +15.

Another stray thought: Polls in Nebraska were pretty accurate. On average slightly overestimated Democrats. But the NYT/Siena numbers were a little hot for Republicans.

Contrast with polls elsewhere, which missed low on Dems.

Banging out a few Nebraska thoughts:

1. The GOP nominee in NE-2 was going to be toast no matter what. Just no chance you could withstand that kind of national landslide in a Harris district.

2. "Dark Money Denise" did not work for John Cavanaugh in the primary or for Harding.
