I think the question should have been, “Will the last Missourian leaving the Democrat Party please schedule a full-tent fumigation on the headquarters?”

Ohio is going to be a dog fight. Romney’s going to have to smear Obama bad and fight a dirty fight if he’s going to win Ohio.  The future of America as we know it looks like it’s going to be riding on Ohio.

In Missouri’s defense, the only really blue areas [as with most states] are KC, StLouis and the state cap Jeff City. Lots of voter fraud in KC & StL. 

As a resident of Missouri I’m fairly sure I speak for many when I say shes perceived here as a clownish buffoon who is not up to the job, much like the President himself. Another little known fact is that her first husband was shot to death in a drug deal gone bad. Suffice to say my contempt for her is boundless:  http://tinyurl.com/bvkxw4f

…and over 8% unemployment.  If a Republican president had such numbers, the MSM would be broadcasting eulogies every day.  But since we have a progressive president, the race is “close”.

You have to ask how these people get elected in the first place.

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with a typical voter. –Winston Churchill– (loosely)

All Romney really has to do is point out the projected costs for energy based on the current EPA regulations.  I think I read it was somewhere around 200% above current costs (and Ohio gets cold in the winter).  Then add the fact that the EPA is constantly harrassing the mining industry to block innovations that increase production of all fossil fuels.

The people in Ohio better hope that climate change makes the winds blow very hard and the sun stays up 24 hours a day to offset this loss with “green” technology.

And then they will look to the feds (aka the taxpayers in middle American) to bail their sorry liberal a**es out of hoc just like their deal leader is doing now.  When we make them pay for their liberal decisions we will finally see a return to conservatism. 

I just posted your comment to my post on Romney (linked in my other comment).  Well said.  

Now, if we could just vote out those to her far left. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Lamar Alexander, for instance! RINOs are a cancer that must be removed!!!

Moby much?

 Heh.  But the case is seriously overstated, look at our Democratic governor.  He’s pretty conservative.  Pro-gun, is running on a platform of not raising taxes during these harsh fiscal times, has proactively decreased state government payrolls and shot down offices, has handled the funding of higher education cleverly, etc. etc.  Now, if he just hadn’t vetoed a Voter ID bill we’d be seriously considering voting for him; can’t remember the last time anyone in my family voted Democratic in a major race after my Catholic mother voted for JFK in 1960, which at the time wasn’t clearly a mistake to the average well read citizen.

McCaskill is another matter altogether.  She beat Jim Talent in a close race in 2006 by seeking every Democratic vote in the state, especially from the normally neglected Red or ulta-Red portions.  Since then she hasn’t acquitted herself well, e.g. the first time the Tea Party protested outside of one of her offices they closed the blinds and called the police.  Since then she’s wised up, but minor details like failing to play $280,000 in state taxes on her private airplane, her her bad votes, and the need to elect as many Republicans to the national Senate will almost certainly sink her.

But as noted by others, the Blue State parts of Missouri will keep electing Democrats, and our governor has shown the party can be competitive at the state level.  I won’t vote for him, but I won’t be upset if he wins reelection.

Money does, indeed, talk. It says “goodbye.”

 Yes. Some want us to start the stampede now. Better to wait until closer to election day so they don’t have time to regroup the herd.

 ” I won’t vote for him, but I won’t be upset if he wins reelection.”

Maybe you should be. Eventually he will show his dem colors and do something really stupid and destructive. Vetoing voter ID isn’t enough for you? That leaves the door to voter fraud wide open.

His odds in Ohio?  Shockingly good.  The economy here is improving (cough, Kasich), but the governor is an upopular sourpuss, so he gets no credit for it.  Instead, that credit is going to…

I agree.  Voting for Obamacare is what killed her.  she had been fairly popular before that.  Missouri voted for a referendum that opposed Obamacare by 70%.  After her votes for the stimulus and Obamacare, she was accurately perceived as Obama and Reids lapdog, despite constantly telling us how much of a fiscal conservative independent she is.  Obama has destroyed the dem party in missouri.

Well, it overstates the case that we “can’t stand Obama”, more like, by a slim margin we weren’t fooled in 2008 and now there’s no doubt and in the Red state parts the loathing is palpable.  But he’ll get plenty of votes in the KC and St. Louis areas, overall we’re a Purple rather than Red (or Blue) state.

As I’ve noted elsewhere, right now we have a better than OK Democratic governor.  Of course, he wouldn’t stand a chance on the national level, but he’s not someone we have to remove from office at any cost (any that’s legal and legitimate, of course).
