I know this doesn't have any real importance, but I think it speaks to Obama's strength and intelligence as a politician, as this is the first time Nebraska has ever split its vote. No one really thought there was any chance of this happening, but Obama put a lot of people on the ground to get out the vote in Omaha, while it was ignored by McCain and the media. While one electoral vote may seem irrelevant even in a close election, there were some potential scenarios in which the electoral college vote could have been tied. Take a look at the map from September 20th, just flip New Hampshire (where Obama was only leading by one point at the time) to McCain and the votes are tied 269-269.
