We have Senator Claire McCaskill who is a blue tinged Democrat, facing off with a certifiable lunatic Todd Akin. The legitimate rape and and criticism of a strong female opponent of not being ladylike and the fact he is really too inbred even for the tea party leaders is just incredible. But now the deadline has come and gone and the Republican party is showing its true face (again) and going all in on winning a senate seat for the worst possible candidate ever. But then again all we have to do is look at their presidential candidate.
Missouri has been seemingly written off by most Democrats and liberals. It is only eleven electoral collage votes after all, it is the buckle of the bible belt that continues to elect officials like Senator Roy Blunt (remember the Blunt amendment?) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

Attitudes are changing just like the times... http://www.youtube.com/...
