It may seem trivial now that the outcome is determined, and it's only one electoral vote, but this may actually be one of Obama's biggest swing accomplishments. Nebraska and Maine are the only states that allows for split electors - one for each congressional district, and two for the overall state total. Obama had no chance of carrying Nebraska, but he did focus on one district where he had a chance. The count is very close right now, but there are more than enough unopened early/provisional ballots to left open.

Take the B out of Obama, then move the M where the B was, and but an H where the M was...
