Don't ask me why they just didn't take Missouri for Obama - other than those "votes" cost extra money better spent elsewhere, and on other races.
We know that Zero didn't need Missouri or Indiana's EVs - but Dirty Harry needed the Senate seats.
Mourdock was a terrible candidate. It didn’t take any cheating to defeat him. The candidate that defeated him (Joe Donnelly) only lasted one term and was defeated 51/45 for re-election.
Wow, IN was really close with Mourdock.
