The important, but overshadowed, Missouri presidential primary is Tuesday.
It's overshadowed by the big contests in Ohio and Florida and because of the five states voting that day, it's the smallest prize in terms of delegates.
But it's important nonetheless as the oh-so-competitive primary campaigns rage across the nation.
And, hey, the candidates are competing here, which means they consider it worth winning.
So who will the battle of Missouri? Here's a series of predictions:
Dave Helling, Kansas City Star political writer:
Republicans: Ted Cruz. "Missouri liked Santorum, Akin, and almost picked Huckabee. And the suburbs may be scared of Trump. And Cruz has Jeff Roe (the former Missouri political consultant who is the Texas senator's campaign manager)."
Democrats: Hillary Clinton. "Sanders has a good argument on trade. But she's got the cities, and rural areas aren't ready for a socialist."(continued)

Ted’s First Lady might be Marco.
True that. It’s a matter of getting out the vote too. He may have a big choir though. There’s a lot of undecided folks in the last poll so this will be interesting. I’ll be voting Trump Tuesday.
I too will vote for Trump... I have yet to decide if I will vote for Blunt though. My House Rep has not endorsed anyone publicly..
She lives and worked in Houston. I’ve been to their home during the senate campaign.
You are a liar.
Yeah, kind of spineless reps. At least Wagner had the guts to endorse. She’s not my rep though
Whaaaatttt????
I have no idea how the state will vote as a whole. Personally I was going to vote for Cruz, but after his response to the BLM disruption of the Trump rally in Chicago, I have changed my mind and am now voting for Trump. Many people here in the St. Louis area are sick to death of the BLM nonsense. I was very disappointed in Cruz’s lack of support for the first amendment, and of all things, agreeing with Hillary Clinton! We shall see the results Tuesday evening.
No, I’m not. She might have lived there when he was running for the Senate, but, not now. I didn’t start this, but heard it from 2 independent sources, which are reliable.
Go back to Canada, Cruz.
I’m sick of non- Americans in our WH.
I am not sure in this part of MO. 5 friends that talk don’t like Trump at all. One couple watches the news and SNL and another couple would watch FOX. I keep telling them these nutjobs and protesters will do the same thing to any of the candidates, not just Trump. Having said that, my mind has not been made 100 percent yet, but probably leaning Trump.
That’s what I meant.
“She might have lived there when he was running for the Senate, but, not now.”
That’s simply a lie. At the moment she is traveling city to city with her husband.
But keep bearing false witness, please; you’ll get your reward.
I wonder what the good Lord has to say about that not that it would matter to you in your opinion.
