Democrats running for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District race have increasingly drawn attention to the candidate at the top of the polls to say a vote for State Sen. John Cavanaugh is a vote that could imperil the "Blue Dot."

That message has appeared in local and national reporting and is now in television and online advertising. And in the Dundee neighborhood, part of Cavanaugh's legislative district and the birthplace of the "Blue Dot," the message clearly penetrated. For some, it struck a chord.

Speaking on their front porches, sidewalks and living rooms, residents shared pride in the "Blue Dot" moniker and said they enjoyed the national prominence it has brought to Omaha. They were also optimistic about flipping the congressional seat and commended their many options on the primary ballot.

All 15 who spoke to The World-Herald about four weeks ahead of the primary were aware of the concerns raised with Cavanaugh's potential election. But none said it would be the leading factor in how they cast their ballot.
