Wow.

Only the St. Louis and Kansas City metro areas voted in favor of the 0bamao Reich?  That's gotta suck for the Regime.

I'm REALLY glad to see St. Louis and Kansas City can't carry the whole state.

Mrs. E voted AGAINST Prop. C.   :thatsright:

I love that woman but her politics absolutely SUCK. She has no rational explanation as to why she voted the way she did, except that in her mind, it's perfectly fine for the federal government to force citizens to buy insurance.

On the news crawl this morning, Carnahan won her primary with something like 270K votes.

Blunt won his primary with something like 430K votes.

That tells me a whole lotta people voted R in the primary - let's assume it goes that way for the general election. Carnahan must be defeated - period. Two liberal moonbat senators in one state is two too many.

Additionally, she had only TWO opponents, where Blunt had EIGHT.........

It is further interesting to note on the above link that approximately 100,000 voters turned out to vote for Prop C, that did not vote for a national senate candidate of either party.......(Prop C total vote is at the bottom of the page)

When looking at the names and results, I see Ike Skelton, a Democrat congressman.

Hasn't he been around since God was a boy?

And wasn't he once considered a "conservative" Democrat but now is a flaming liberal?

My knowledge of Missouri politics is a little, uh, dated.  Given my propensity for reading old magazines, thus far I'm up to the Pendergast-Truman era.

True.....he's been in his seat since dirt was invented, and is (right now) very powerful, as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee......based on the latest polls, he is likely going to go the way of your friend Ben Nelson.....he is running behind virtually all of his challengers in the fall elections by a substantial margin.  I'm surprised he didn't retire.  Pelosi granted him permission to vote "against" ObamaCare, when she knew she had the votes to pass it, in an effort to save his skin, however, based again on his poll numbers, it didn't work.....

I wasn't far off... Maybe Claire McCaskill is reading my mind... Good luck booting her ass in '12, Missouri.

The Hill

Quote
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) said she had received the message from her state's voters after they approved a ballot initiative looking to exempt the state's residents from mandates contained within the healthcare reform law.

McCaskill said she understood what Missouri voters had been trying to say about the healthcare reform law for which she had voted in the Senate. But the centrist senator downplayed the vote as a result of heavy Republican primary turnout and a lack of education about the effects of the law.

"I certainly noticed the vote on Prop C, the healthcare law, and: message received," she said Wednesday in a conference call with state reporters.

"I think there has been ... a lot of noise about the mandate that people have gotten so focused on that they don't realize that there's going to be more access and affordability and more choices," she said.

If the trend continues, McCaskill's ass is toast. Whoever rises to run against her will run that POS bill right up her ass and ignite it.

She claims "message received", but she's still pushing the bill. What part of "Not just NO, but HELL NO!" do you not understand, Claire?

And who the hell is this Michael O'Brien slug? Any moron who labels McCaskill as "centrist" isnt' paying attention. Apparently Oliver Willis agrees:

Networks Ignore Missouri Voters' Rejection of ObamaCare, Instead Celebrate Obama's Birthday

In the first voter referendum on ObamaCare, Missourians on Tuesday overwhelmingly (by 71 to 29 percent) backed Proposition C which called upon the state to enact a statute to “deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance,” an outcome the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described as “rebuking President Barack Obama's administration.” On Wednesday night, however, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts skipped the bad news for President Obama – yet all found time to celebrate his 49th birthday.

They've been hyping the crap out of Prop 8 being over turned, too.
