The map still must win a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate, but that vote is widely seen as a fait accompli given the Republican super majority in the chamber and support beyond that from Kansas City Democrats.
Were happy with the result, House Speaker Steven Tilley said following the vote. We think it was a fair map, we think its representative of the state and we look forward to the Senate taking action and letting it become the law of the land.
The Senate reconvenes at 3 p.m. this afternoon, and could take a vote shortly thereafter.
The drama was most definitely in the House.
In previous votes, three Democrats had joined the Republican majority. But the two-thirds majority needed to override Nixons veto required 109 votes all 105 Republicans and four Democrats.
All 105 Republicans delivered, as did the three previous Democrats: St. Louis Reps. Jamilah Nasheed and Penny Hubbard and Kansas City Rep. Michael Brown.
That final yes vote turned out to be Rep. Jonas Hughes, the Kansas City Democrat who has had perhaps the wildest legislative session in recent memory.
He cast the deciding vote on Wednesday morning despite an intense lobbying effort on the House floor by fellow Democrats. Afterward, with tears streaming down his face and staining the shoulder of his suitcoat, he retreated to the members-only lounge behind the chamber, refusing to meet with reporters.

Russ Carnahan, typical of what appears to be most of his closer relatives, has never held a real job in his life. Not his mother; not his father; not his brother nor his sister. Nor even his grandfather and grandmother.
GAD!!!!

Good Lord, Second, can we sincerely hope so! That will leave . . .who? Robin? Who is dead in the water after having been resoundingly hammered by Blunt last year. Can we pray they did not have any children to carry on the torch!

I would hazard a guess that they would prefer to sacrifice a white rep rather than a black one.

That is awesome news. Wondering what they had to offer to get enough Dems to switch?

Elections have consequences...
Redistricting is the BIG issue being missed by the led-around-by-the-nose-Lib Haters, but the Party sure knows it is screwing them, HARD...

I think they had to circle the wagons to protect Clay and Cleaver.

I hope the next good news out of Missouri is that Obama’s girlfriend, Claire McCaskill, has been defeated in her reelection bid; the witch.

Don’t get your hopes up too high.
St. Louis, to its GREAT economic detriment is an old, entrenched Union town. The dead-assed, entitlement-minded Union Richardheads, will continue to vote Commie, even if McCaskill engaged in videotaped child torture.
KC is probably the same way.

Thanks for the link...There is a very funny line towards the end of that article..
Democrats, who hold small minorities in both chambers..
That may be the ultimate attempt at spin...
