Um, the new SurveyUSA poll for MO is a crock, here is why.

It shows McCain winning the KC area 44% - 39%. As a long time student of Missouri politics and someone who has correctly predicted races here in the past:

He will beat McCain in the KC region, trust me. He may lose the state but no way in hell he will lose KC. Obama won KC region/Jackson Co by 55% over Clinton, McCain lost it to Romney. McCaskill won it by 62% in 2006, Kerry won it by 58%. Not going to happen.

1. Interesting perspective worth noting

thanks

2. I don't know

according to wikipedia KC is 54.68% white so 44%-39% might not be that out of the question.

3. All the polls are all over the map

As an auditor I understand sampling error and statistics as well as these pollsters.

A sample that size for an area that big is not in the confidence interval that I would accept to provide any assurance on my testing.

4. SUSA MO 2/3: Clinton 54% - Obama 43%

Just sayin'. SUSA has screwed up MO before.

5. Especially if he picks Tim Kaine, a Kansas City native, for his VP!!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

But seriously, influence on two swing states? Tim Kaine has powerful Kung Fu.

6. KC will not go GOP

I am from KC,Mo and believe me the GOP will NOT carry that city.

8. As a Missourian, McCain is going to have to fight for Missouri. He won't take KC or St. Louis..
