I guess it wouldn’t make any difference to note that Democrats have held the Missouri governor’s office for 17 of the last 21 years, and the STL County Executive’s office since 1991. There hasn’t been a Republican mayor in STL since 1949. And, if I were a betting man, I’d bet that Ferguson and vicinity sends Democrats to Congress, the legislature, and the county council.
But Abe Lincoln is now a Democrat.
