He only eeked out a win. When Hillary won in Indiana, they made it look bad for her by saying that Obama only "narrowly lost" or that Hillary "barely won".

We didn't hear about it because Obama was the one that won. If Hillary had won, it would have been front page news.

We did hear about it, on Feb 14., when it happened.

Are all Obama supporters this poorly informed?

Fmr. Nebraska Governor and Senator Bob Kerrey Endorses Clinton
At a time when our nation faces serious challenges, it will take a leader with Hillary Clinton’s strength and experience to bring the real change we need," Kerrey said. "Hillary is tested and uniquely capable of restoring America’s standing in the world."

Kerrey has been president of The New School in New York since 2001, overseeing unprecedented growth in undergraduate enrollment and curriculum offerings while remaining active in national affairs. He served on the 9/11 Commission that analyzed the U.S. response to the terrorist attacks and is co-chair of the National Commission for Quality Long-Term Care.

Prior to his current position, Kerrey represented Nebraska in the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 2001, and as Governor from 1983 to 1987.

Caucus-Convention state

>Nebraska had its state primary on May 13th.

Nebraska held their presidential caucus on Feb. 9th.

Nebraska held its state primary on May 13th that is a Non-Binding Primary... No delegates are allocated based on the results of this contest.

Their delegates are allocated during their State Convention on June 28.
