If anything, I'm reminded that the "-uh" used to pronounce the end of the state's name by pandering candidates needs only a D in front of it to serve as a handy shorthand for the political views of way too freaking many of the people I meet and interact with.
KC, SL & Columbia are oases in a growing sea of red, Springfield/Branson/Joplin have been the speaking-in-tongues vortex of the nation for years, and steady growth in the numbers of retirees coming to the Ozarks isn't helping matters.
The occasional statewide office-holder we're able to boost into office on our side (Sen. McCaskill, Gov. Nixon) doesn't really come close to making up for (hmmm, let's see) Ashcroft, Blunt, Baby Blunt, Bond. In the house, we have Akin, Emerson and threw over Ike Skelton last time in favor of (insert vomiting noise here) a tea-party assclown like Hartzler.
Not getting much smarter our there . . .
OTOH, there are reasons I stay . . .
