It at least guarantees Bush will win Mo., because it will bring out conservatives to vote.

[Prov3456]

Democrat Governor Bob Holden wanted it on the AUGUST primary ballot for just that reason. He believes fewer conservatives will vote in the primary, giving the amendment greater chance of failing.

I hope and pray that Missourians everywhere recognize, and have tired of, the political tricks going on around this and every issue. I hope this backfires on the Governor.

One way to help it backfire on the Governor is to vote twice during the August primary: the first time in favor of this amendment, and the second time FOR Governor Holden against his primary opponent. Why? IMHO, because the Republican candidate in November, Matt Blunt, will have an easier time defeating "One-Term-Bob" than he would against Holden's Democratic primary challenger.
