Excellent!
One question: Why did Missouri elect an overwhelming Republican legislature but a scumbag governor?

One question: Why did Missouri elect an overwhelming Republican legislature but a scumbag governor?

I'm in Missouri, and I think your one question has two answers. 1. Because Matt Blunt didn't want to run again. 2. Because the Rep. candidate we did run was totally pathetic.

Geography.

All of the state’s Democrats are crammed into St. Louis, KC, and Columbia. That means they can sort of compete statewide, but when the state is split into districts they struggle.

Basically, those 4 Democrats just bought themselves safe seats when they redistrict the state House. The other Democrats will be combined.

Jay Nixon is not a scumbag. He is actually the only Democrat that I have voted for since he started running at the state level. (Except for the last Governor election.) I like him and I admire him and he has my respect.

I may not agree with everything he does, but he is not a Pelosi or a Reid or a zero or any other myraid liberal ass that can be found in the more liberal states of the Union.
