Politics update and analysis

Within our merry little band (Soar 11-3), democrats would win both the govenor's race in Missouri and Obama would be president. However, polls indicate that outside our group in a general election, McCain would win Missouri substantially (average 5 to 7 percent) and Nixon would win gov with about 3% (latest statewide polling). Still too early to even project a winner, but trends are that Missouri will still be a red state in the presidential elections.

Our group will have a good turnout and polls throughout state will have a good turnout (if political pundits and polls are to be believed).

If folks wish to help more: last day to register to vote in upcoming November 08 election is Oct 8th. The sad truth is that only about half the folks that can vote actully are registerd and do so in an election. Every time there is an election, folks proclaim what a good turn-out, but the sad truth is that a good portion of the public does not vote.

Make sure folks in your household are registered to vote, perhaps some of your neighbors. Make sure they can get to the polls in November. Stand up and be counted.

Our group has had a proud turnout in elections.

Personal note: I do like John McCain and believe him a patriot. However, every time he opens his mouth, I find I cannot vote for him. Taxing my meager insurance benefits, 100 year war in MidEast, private Social Security, continuing Bush economic legacy and more makes this boy not on my most favored political list.

Same can be said of Kenny boy. Kenny would keep Blunt agenda alive and well in Jefferson City and that would keep Missouri as a third world enity. Personally speaking, Blunt should not even been a dogcatcher in this state much less the current occupent of the mansion in Jefferson City. Same can be said of Kenny.

Unemployment for Blunt and Kenny should begin next January if voters have any sense.

If you doubt this, look up voting records of both.
