St. Joseph voters have sent Buchanan County Clerk Pat Conway to Jefferson City.

Conway won Tuesday's special election race for the state's 27th District seat beating republican Jason Gregory by a vote of 1,290 to 655.

12. How come when a democrat wins the MSM doesn't post anything

about it. Like Owens winning that seat in New York that the republicans had held for 100 years. But Scott Brown because he took a nudeo 20 years ago they think he is "" Mr. President to be"""".

[burning rain]

13. Um, because it's a freakin' state house seat.
