The 2008 Nebraska Democratic presidential caucuses took place on February 9, 2008, where 24 of the state's 31 convention delegates were chosen.
On May 13, 2008, the state also held a non-binding primary election which Obama also won but the margin of victory was considerably smaller.
Absentee votes for the disabled, those on active military duty, and full-time students were permitted.
Primary Date: May 13, 2008 National Pledged Delegates Determined: 0 (of 24) Barack Obama performed extremely well throughout the state of Nebraska in the caucus, winning a majority of counties.
His large margin of victory can be attributed to his overwhelming wins in Douglas County, which contains Omaha, where he won with 77.12 percent of the vote, as well as in Lancaster County, which contains the state capital of Lincoln and is home to the University of Nebraska.
