Maybe the “Show Me State” has finally regained its’ senses and come back to reality.
I suspect the fact that Obama DIDN’T VISIT JOPLIN, MO. after the tornado of last year, but visited (Photo-Opped) Newtown, Conn; New Jersey; and Oklahoma City, might have had something to do with it.
Reason why? Too many working class conservative white folk in Joplin so why bother with a non-productive (re vote getting), Photo-Op. One problem, Joplin is a well integrated city of many races and ethnic groups, and all were badly hurt during the tornado so Obie decided not to list them for federal disaster aid (I believe some came a year later, but big fucking whoop).
Missouri has given us Democratic nuts like McCaskill, the leaders of E. St. Louis (perhaps the crime capitol of the state), and a few other wackjobs, but they have also given us decent men like Dick Ichord and Stuart Symington (I think he was from MO), in the past.
Are they “Back to A Future” with this vote? Hope so, for their sake and for America’s sake.
I hope that we in Michigan can capture the seat of Carl Levin who is retiring in 2014. It is going to take a lot but with the current scandals and him being an IRS letter writer anything may be possible if the election is legit.
