Here in Missouri, we remained firmly in the red column.....although the MSM is still calling our presidential vote "too close to call", that is only because McCain won the vote by only 6,000 with all precincts reporting, and the St. Louis political machine has invaded all of the cemeteries in the area digging frantically for names to list on a few "provisional ballots". They will eventually give it up in failure, but they have to try, you know. That said, the local media has already called the state for McCain.
We replaced our Republican Governor who chose not to run for a second term (and also who happens to be a friend of mine) with a "centrist" Democrat, who has earned over the years an "A" rating from the NRA. In any state east of the Mississippi, Jay Nixon would be called a "Republican"......A staunch conservative was elected as Lt. Governor.
In the state Senate, our Republican Party picked up three seats, making the conservative majority larger, and more effective than before.
In the state House of Representatives, we lost only one seat, however, maintaining a substantial Republican majority.
Here in my local district (District 6), my congressman, Sam Graves soundly defeated Democrat Kaye Barnes (former mayor of KC), upon who the DNC spent approximately 3 million dollars in support.....that race wasn't even close.....
All things considered, it was not a bad night here in the "heartland"......
How did things go in your state?
