Start the Spin Machine:
1) The ballot issue was confusing. Many who voted YES thought they were voting FOR the health care.
2) Democrats didn’t vote.
Why this spin is wrong:
The ballot was actually quite clear in the wording. You were either voting FOR a State Constitional amendment, or you were voting against the Amendment. The Amendment said that Missourians would NOT be required to purchase health care.
I have heard several Democrats say that they voted Republican for the first time EVER. So the heavy Republican vote was actually because Democrats voted Republican!
Really. Tell 'em all about Ronaldus Magnus.
