I know this isn't a fully realized diary, but I wanted to get these photos up asap. I just got back from Sen. Ben "Blue Dog" Nelson's town hall on health care, which took place at the Durham Research Center on the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus in Omaha. Hundreds of people turned out and there were a healthy number of pro-reform, pro-Obama folks there, though the "don't tread on me, death panel" crowd was in full effect and noisier than the pro-reform people. Nelson is so weak and infuriating, though he did try to dispel a few of the more egregious myths circulating and he did open the door to support the public option. At one point he called the House bill "better" than the Senate bill. No Nazi crap from the right wingers in Omaha, which was cool...
