Tonights biggest election blowout is not about any candidate, unless you want to count President Obama. In Missouri, 71 percent of the voters are backing a referendum requiring to state to protect its citizens from Obamacares requirement that they purchase health insurance. This is very bad news for a White House that is still desperately trying to sell its health care bill retrospectively ahead of November, when the Show Me State will feature an important Senate race between Rep. Roy Blunt, R, and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, D.
In neighboring Kansas, Reps. Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt are in a dogfight for the GOP nomination for Sam Brownbacks empty Senate seat. Fewer than 4,000 votes separate the two right now with more than two-thirds reporting.
In Michigan, the race for governor was not nearly as close as expected.

Michigan voters fired seven-term Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick
In Kansas, Moran squeaks out victory over Tiahrt
As the two veteran congressmen lashed out in a battle to show who was the most conservative, Moran and Tiahrt didnt look that much different politically. They both have followed traditional Republican lines such as lower taxes and less government.Moran and Tiahrt have both received rock star ratings from conservative groups.
Moran has an A grade from the National Rifle Association; Tiahrts score is A+. Neither has ever broken with the National Right to Life Committee on abortion votes while in Congress. Morans lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union is almost 92-percent; Tiahrts is 95-percent.
By nearly a 3 to 1 margin, Missouri Votes to Block Obama's Health Insurance Mandate
Mmmm....Mmmmm....Mmmmmmm
Great job, Missouri!!
It also appears that the Republicans showed up in force, here in Missouri, with a 5 to 3 ratio.
If that ratio holds during the November elections, it’s going to be a Bay of Libs type slaughter for the Commie DemonRats.
Cheers
Lord help me, but I cannot stop thinking of Rush’s parody of Andy Griffith pimping Obamacare, “Just be a good cracker. A goooood cracker.”
I nearly peed my pants. :^D
I wonder what Claire McCaskill thinks of her Obamacare vote right now.
71% of Americans have IQ’s above 91.
71% of Missouri voters voted against Obamacare.
Coincidence? I think not.
All of the spin that had been coming from every Dim strategist was that the polls were all wrong. The public was completely behind 0bamaCare.
WRONG! Now we have concrete evidence that shows the real feelings of Americans. They aren't buying a word of 0bozo's crap. Let's see them now try talking themselves out of a 71.1% rejection of their health care "reform".
This great result should make Rush especially entertaining on Wednesday.
To clarify, its because he appears to be having a sour moment!!
American Patriots keep asking:
Love the ‘Bay of Libs’ line!
In 2008, Missouri was almost evenly split between obama and mclame. Took a long recount to sort it out.
Now, obamacare loses by 71% to 29%? MAJOR shift!
Hey obama, reid, and pelosi, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?!
If MO can do it, so can the rest of the states.
FUBO and the horse you rode in on.
Bummer has got a hard sell on his hands. November bodes to be the political equivalent of projectile vomiting. There is only so much Rat that can be stomached.
They'll do the expected and blame ‘disinformation’ by the Republicans. They'll claim that if those >71% of voters that rejected Obamacare knew what was really in the bill, they would support it. Totally ridiculous and untrue, but this is the spin they will likely use.
need to defeat lacy clay then missouri movie well served in november 2010
Bwahahahahahaha! Perfect!
