Heard an encouraging story about election in Missouri on NPR

[yurbud]

They said the rural folks were still pretty behind Bush and had some farmer who said he was sure al Qaeda wanted to destroy our strategic hog reserves there or something, but when they went to the city, they talked to a group of vets who said they weren't going to vote for Bush.

One guy said he used to vote straight republican, and he hasn't gotten more liberal just more disgusted with the GOP. He said he is voting for the Democratic candidate for senate only because she is NOT a republican.

Missouri seems like it's at a cultural crossroads between the Midwest and the South. If that's an attitude among veterans there, either the GOP will get their clock cleaned this fall or people will be in the streets if they win with their usual vote scams and intimidation.

My guess is it might be getting dicy for the Bushies to even try another terrorist attack.
