1. Missouri votes for Ayn Rand and Planet Kolob?

I think by election time they'll come to their senses.

2. SurveyUSA oversamples repukes

Not good news for Mittens if he's only ahead by 1 in a biased poll in a state where they claim Obama isn't popular, strange that its closer than McCaskil-Akin

3. This is further evidence that Romney is way behind in this race.

This is why Ryan was picked. He needed to shake things up. Too bad for him, this won't work either.

6. The poll was started before the announcement.

Missouri is ranked 13th, for citizens aged 65 and older, by percentage of the population.

4. kinda looks

to me that Claire should except some help from President Obama.

5. Obama doesn't need to MO so the party establishment has almost written it off

If it gets closer after the cons, he should start spending and campainging there even if he doesn't expect to win it to help Claire and put Mittens on the defensive
