Each state and each pol has idiosyncracies.

Everything is trade-offs in voting. No angels, no demons.

Barone points out that it’s not a big labor state but Lincoln only pulled out a 52 percent win. It leaves me with questions as to whether her narrow win was from labor activism against her or taxpayer outrage for the bailouts and Obamacare. Now that SEIU is choosing to sit this one out, we’ll only know in November.
