The Missouri Gop and Prop C

Kudos to the Missouri Gop. Tuesday you did well getting your folks to the polls. You also nominated your folks (not teabagger canidates). You also got to besmirch the Obama health-care law.

Clue to the dems: never give opponents an easy victory, for it will cost you dearly.

Gop got tens of millions of dollars free advertising yesterday and today as talking heads of media go over "the will of the people".

What they do not mention is that there was no real organized opposition to Prop C. Not labor, not social organization and not democratic party. Yes, there some minor last minute "inform the voter" efforts, but very lame and small.

I walk about Southcity almost every day. I only noted one vote no to prop C sign---mine. Support Prop C, scores of signs. Same riding thru St. Louis county and other Missouri locations, seas of "vote prop C signs".

I am somewhat displeased to "defend" Obamacare being a supporter of single payer healthcare, but healthcare law is an improvement (flawed improvement at best}

Yes, we on the left handed a victory to Gop once again.

Clue to the dems: if you do not get off lethargic butts; welcome senator Blunt.
You win politics by getting folks to the polls, informing the voters and the standard stuff. Never under-estimate your opponents and never "assume" you are going to win.
