Ralph Nader got 17,000 votes in MO...
Obama lost MO by less than 6 thousand votes out of 2.9 million votes cast. However, to keep it in perspective, we see that McCain lost NC by only 12,000 votes out of 4.2 million votes cast and Bob Barr got 25,000 votes. So, it appears it all balances out in the big picture?

1. You are talking about your real moonbats here
These are people that are possibly so far left that Obama would never be able to win their vote, no matter who was on the ballot.

2. One thing to be pleased about
is that four years from now, we won't have to hear all that hogwash about how "special" Missouri is because it always correctly picks the next president.

5. Nader might be co-opted
I could see a world where he might have a minor place in a Obama administration.

This is a president who fully intends to seek a re unified America.
I look to see a seat for libertarians, greens, reform, etc.

I believe that president Obama sees America as a community, and he will re-organize it.

Missouri, Minn, and CA prop8 are pyrric victories, and short lived ones at that.
Missouri has to decide whether it is a confederate state again.

Actually, It did by going to Jay Nixon. NIxon is a repudiation of Republicanism without the issue of racism to deal with.
Nixon is the antithesis of Blunt, Sr and Jr.
