It is way to early (4%) to see a trend.
Steelman led with first results,
Brunner then led
Now Akin is leading.
It appears to be sea-sawing depending on where early votes are coming from. It is way to early to see a trend.
St L and KC are liberal strongholds. “Outstate Missouri”, i.e. the entire remainder of the state, doesn’t give a rip about St L or KC. In fact, thinks they are lost causes.
I endorsed Akin, so I hope he pulls it off.
I voted for Todd Akin, so that’s who I’m pulling for.Just curious, and I admit to my ignorance to Mo politics, but what is was your reasoning for not voting for Palin's choice?
TomGuy, are you getting these results from running an Excel program? The only other thing I’ve seen includes the Dem’s etc.
I am paying attention, but honestly, any one of the top three would knock mccaskill into the stratosphere.
I am copying the HTML code (via Firfox’s view partial source) and pasting it in the FR posting box.

As mentioned, Todd Akin would make a good Senator. So would John Brunner. I think that Sarah Steelman would be an even better one, but if Akin or Brunner wins, it’s not a problem, as long as McCaskill loses the general. The only issue difference between Akin and Steelman that I know of are some tort issues. Should be an interesting night.

I’m still mystified why you think that a former State Treasurer and a current Congressman are second-tier candidates.
I hope one of them wins and not Brunner who lead in the last primary poll I saw.
I’m also confused why some people think Steelman is a RINO while others think she’s the second coming.
I’d vote for Akin if I lived in the state.
Recovery is not impossible but right now McCrapskull would lose for sure to any of the 3.
Agree. MO has 3 good senate candidates. Turnout was srrong in my little town. I am so glad as that is a good sign. Hoping Kinder wins Lt. Gov...he has the endorsement of Rush Limbaugh.
Just saw this. Akin and Steelman are first-tier (as is Brunner, by reason of his $$). If they’re not, nobody in MO is.
Thanks Tom. I’m without local news coverage for Missouri right now.
The only consistent trend I have noticed tonight is the SORRY
Election Site. It either crashes or takes forever to load the
page. They can’t handle the traffic. Some IT-Tech Heads need to roll.
McCaskill’s at only 31.4% overall with about 12% reporting. Granted KC hasn’t reported yet so that will certainly boost her numbers when those results come in.
Akin has a slight lead for now but it’s still close.
How is Peter Kinder doing?

"Palin's choice" means nothing to me. Palin is not from Missouri.
I've not been impressed with how Steelman has conducted herself the last four years or so, since she ran for the nomination for governor.
I don't like how Brunner has conducted this campaign, using his fortune to run a bunch of negative, misleading TV ads.
That leaves Akin. He's been my congressman, he's a conservative, and overall I've been satisfied with him.
I think there is no overwhelming choice here among conservatives in Missouri. We're voting for all three. And we'll all vote for the nominee against ObamaClaire.
Thanks. It looks like we’re really in for a horserace—it may be a long night. It’s nice to be in a situation where we don’t have a RINO in the race taking advantage of a split in the conservative vote.

Mo. election website bogged down on primary night
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri secretary of state’s office is blaming new computer software and heavy usage for troubles that people are having viewing election results over the Internet.
The website for Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has been slow to display results from Tuesday’s primary elections.
Carnahan’s office acknowledged the problems in a tweet, stating that the new software and heavy website traffic were slowing down the computer servers. The secretary of state’s office said it is working on a solution.
Go David Spence for Governor!!!!!!!!!!!! come on Kinder!
Kinder is damaged goods. He shouldn’t even be running for reelection.
Of course it will have heavy traffic on election night.
The real question to Carnahan is why did you not anticipate
the heavy traffic?
Rush has really been pushing for Peter Kinder on his show..would be a terrible loss for MO if it doesn’t pull it off. I would bet David Limbaugh is supporting Kinder too.
why do you say that fieldmarshaldj?
I suppose if Robin Carnahan were a Republican some on the left would accuse her of incompetence, or trying to fix the vote somehow.
Anyway I hope the strongest candidate wins in MO. I did not know it was an open primary so I was surprised to see McCaskill’s name there too. I just think closed primaries are better.... Any preferences on who should win in Michigan tonight also?
I noticed that when I tried to click on the link. No surprise..is it?
You have to pick a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or State issue ballot. There isn’t cross voting other than asking for a cross party ballot just to be a turd.
Folks, kindly take note that with 15.8% of the state reporting the GOP Senate primary has over 110,000 votes cast. That means the end voting totals will be somewhere near 600,000-700,000 votes cast for GOP Senate candidates. McCaskill can kiss her Senate seat goodbye, and, Obama & socialist ilk, the Democrat Party, can kiss the state of Missouri goodbye.
The Democrat turnout is a total diaster throughout the state. Missouri now joins the solid south in getting rid of Obama and huge chunks of his complaint, anti-American Democrat Party!!!
Secretary of State, Carnahan,Any relationship to Jean Carnahan who won the Senate seat after her husband was killed in a plane crash when he was actually losing to John Ashcroft?
http://news.yahoo.com/beset-scandals-peter-kinder-drops-missouri-governor-race-172100240.html
He was all set to run for the top office and had to withdraw and opted to run for an unprecedented 3rd term as Lt Governor. All of the above is enough to cost us that office if he is the nominee again (regardless if the allegations are unfair). He should’ve stood aside for the good of the party (I say that as someone whom had previously endorsed his Gubernatorial run against Nixon).
Mel Carnahan, Jean “The Widder” Carnahan, Robin Carnahan, Russ Carnahan... I sense a theme.
Of course it will have heavy traffic on election night.
The real question to Carnahan is why did you not anticipate
the heavy traffic?
************************************************************************
Come on now, give her a break. She inherited these problems from Bush.
Jean and Mel Carnahan’s daughter. I think she is retiring this year.

Yes, are they the Kennedy’s of MO?
Yep!
Who was given the seat, illegally, when her husband was killed before the election.
And a weak GOP allowed it to happen.
-PJ
From a native Kalifornian, that would be our dream come true for our socialist state! Congrats MO!
Here is my solution to MO citizens.
You deserve better.
Get rid of Carnahan.
And a weak GOP allowed it to happen.
Yeppers the go-along, get-along bunch. Past and Present.
You're next oh Witchy One
Lookin’ like Akin is moving away.
I’m seeing 1 to 3 dem /republican vote totals. Of course the huge urban areas report in last every election.
Well, Claire McCaskill has endorsed Akin, so I had to go with Palin on this one.
