sorry, I meant 53 per cent are morons, thank God the rest of us are sane!

I know people in Missouri—there was no way Missouri would have gone to Obama. The only state bordering on Illinois that didn’t go Obama. There were no signs, electioneering, etc. at the polls on election day in Illinois. I figured they were all over in northwest Indiana. I guess they ran out of manpower this time to swing Missouri for the Dems.

Well! We delivered. Whatsa’ matter with the rest of you pikers?

[Constitutions Grandchild]

No, he was from Illinois. I can’t claim responsibility for that one. I was seven years old.

And, that’s with a guy most of us held our tongue and noses to vote for.

Sarah Palin was the one that heavily visited and campaigned in Missouri.
She made the difference.
Oh,if only McCain would have stepped back and let Palin have free rain to clear things up with Obama's Chicago connections from Ayers, Rezko, Pfleger and his Pastor for twenty years, the one that preached...

AND ACORN!

I am surprised that the fruits off oak trees were NOT successful in Missouri.... but then there was SARAH!!!!!

McCain was 97 electoral votes away for 270 needed to win. If Obama was disqualified, wouldn’t the states that went for Obama have the right to allow their electors to vote as they pleased and not straight party line? Appears to me that there might just be a chance that some would defect and give just enough votes to McCain. This would be HISTORICAL!!!

The political parties select their most loyal soldiers as Electors: big donors, honored party members and flat out party hacks. In many states electors are chosen at the state party conventions.
There is no way that dedicated Obama electors are going to switch to voting for McCain. It would be Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi would most likely be selected to move into the VP slot.
Why on earth would Democratic electors hand the Presidency to a Republican?

Maybe revenge for lying to them about the "Change" he said he would bring to his administration. Just look at the line up so far. With things happening in this election that I have NEVER seen before, I don't take anything for granted.

Always liked Missouri and found the people there to be friendly and the countryside beautiful.

If I ever get to retire, I hope I can retire in the Ozarks.
