For what its worth. I just returned from working as an election judge in a largely republican precinct in Central Missouri. The vote was huge. The republican vote was larger than the democrat vote but the margin was not what it is normally. Comments heard from voters in line were very negative to the Iraq War. I think that was a key factor in the election in our precinct. Its a shame that this has not been handled better than it was because the conservative movement has been hurt by the inability of this administration to handle the war. This is only one precinct so can not predict from the result there.
