A political science professor says the national focus on Nebraska’s Second Congressional District during the mid-terms was misplaced.

University of Nebraska-Omaha professor Paul Landow says national pundits seem to believe the greater Omaha district is neutral, when he insists it clearly leans Republican and even more so after re-districting

Landow says Bacon is an attractive candidate with an attractive family who, as former commander of Offutt Air Force Base, has extraordinary military credentials.

Landow says democrats will struggle statewide until they learn to relate to rural Nebraskans

Landow says a good sign for Nebraska Democrats were wins in legislative races which will re-shape the Unicameral for the upcoming legislative session.
