That same place chock full of uppity liberals and country club Republicans???
Anyway, the conservative vote will come from the rural areas and Springfield.
About KC, STL and Columbia??? Don't ask!!! :(
Show Me Ping
This makes me more convinced that Kerry blew it by not choosing Gephardt for his VEEP. Geppie probably would have carried Mo. John Jr. will NOT carry North Carolina.
What's your take on your state?
A friend of mine who's left leaning noticed it first, and jokes that you would think 3 quaters of the country voted for Bush in the last election and that half of them want out now.
I have yet to read a single article about somone who voted Gore, but now is leaning towards Bush but isn't sure and is happy with the president.
I'm here in Missouri and I still see the Al Gore for Pres. bumper stickers on the oil burning, 2 cylinder, rope tied down hood El Camino. No Kerry stickers seen yet but a ton of Bush stickers. Don't know if that says anything? If people are going to vote on frustration of party, mainly against our stupid Demo. Governor, then President Bush is guaranteed a win here.
Yeah, Ill bet people are still PO'd about not releasing the school money..
If anything, "Geppie" would have killed Kerry's chance of winning Missouri. Just a native son's opinion.
If one superimposes the 1999 CCW vote Map of Missouri over the Red/Blue Map of election 2K of Missouri, the similarities are striking...Gabby would bring the union vote in Missouri to Kerry. But he already has it. Ditto the Black, "intelligensia," and urban-liberal vote. I frankly, see no benefit to Gabby as VP. In fact he has resided in the Carolinas for years and used his Mother's apt. as his Missouri address...
He fought CCW legislation for his entire term.
This ass-bag is so unpopular, even among Missouri Democrats, that Claire McCaskill may beat him in Aug. primary.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not in love with the guy. I just think he would have had a better chance of delivering MO than John Jr. does at delivering NC. I could be wrong. But, somebody likes him. He's been in Congress for 150 years.
Gabby benefitted not only from liberal environ, but union $$$, NEA, and all the "usual suspects," so prevalent in an urban setting. Also, he, as well as all StL. Dem pols gained from the voter-fraud so well documented...
Interest rates always go up when the economy gets better...and these people vote??
I've seen a larger number of Kerry stickers, unfortunately. Oh how I love the Democrat brainwashing so ingrained here in Akron.
The New York Times always does this article, but their twist is to find pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda 2000 Bush voters who voted for Bush because they believed he was a "compassionate conservative" but are now furious and feel betrayed because, once in office, he pushed pro-life, pro-traditional family policies.
I really don't have a feel for this election here in MO. I'm guessing St. Louis will go Kerry, with 120% of the vote, but I have seen only 1 Kerry bumpersticker so I am hopeful.
My brother-in-law was a laid off teacher because of Holden's withholdings of school funding! He's employed again but too little too late.
Even Missourians are smarter than the liberal media, holden and kerry have given them credit for. Some just take a while longer to figure it out.
My pet peeve is "swing voters" who believe in nothing and ask 'What can my country do for me?'
I just moved back to Missouri from Kansas. Holden is awful. Can we beat him next time around?
