I knew about this before, but for those unaware, above is the general trend that other than 1956, Missour has predicted the election correcly every year except 1904.

Currently, RCP says McCain is 4.7 points ahead in Missouri

and a bunch of other polls I have seen online, even in the more liberal parts (AOL etc.) have predicted that overall McCain will win... any thoughts on this?

Every straw poll on AOL that I’ve taken has shown McCain up over Obama by more than 60%-35%...My take is that when its anonymous and people don’t have to talk to anyone, this is the true vote! I will be surprised if McCain doesn’t win more than 289 electoral votes on election night...

I hope this is a good sign. I am extremely worried right now. For Obama to be going UP in the poles after a huge financial crisis breaks - a crisis for which there is literally tons of evidence that it was caused by Democrats... Well, let’s just say it’s not encouraging.

McCain is all about “Show Me”, whereas Hussein has to be called just to show up.

(Allthough in 2000, Missouri indicated only the winner of the electoral vote, not the popular vote.)

McCain will win Missouri. This election has some interesting features. A lot more states are shifting around. NC and Virginia both need more work in order to guarantee a win for McCain. The good news is that Florida and Ohio both seem to be moving towards McCain and the latest polls in Michigan show McCain is tied. I think the Democrat blunders in that state are finally coming home to roost. It will be about a ground game if McCain is going to win Michigan. I think Jack Hoogendyk will end up doing better than expected against Levin but he like so many of our conservative candidates have very little money against their incumbent opponents.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know what happened in 1904?
