When a tobacco tax fails because Phylliss schlafly can come in with a pile of money during the last week and scare the crap out of people about how if they increase tobacco taxes, the money collected will be used to perform abortions—which was what happened in 2006, to keep MO one of the least taxed and most deadly for its citizens regarding tobacco—- it is time to stphu about being a bellwether.

Let’s face it, MO never was a bellwether, since all the past Dems the Show-Me South supported post-JFK were Southern. MO, is more like WV and KY, or the Border South, whereas VA, FL, and even NC are evidently the New South.

How did Jefferson County not underperform??? Correct me if I’m wrong, but their is not one single elected republican in the whole county (on a state or local level). Iron County was won by 50.2% and Jefferson County only outperformed Iron County by .4%, yep a county full of democrats barely pulled the ringer for another democrat. St. Genivieve County (which is righ next door to Jeff Co) went for Barack with over 56% of votes cast. Sorry but Jefferson County was BY far the most disappointing county on the eastern side of the state. Jackson County barely out does Jefferson Countyas significant underperforming counties.

I don’t know what more Jay could have done. He did 2 concerts plus he held a rally in VA. Jay can’t be everywhere all the time. He’s not a politician. He’s a R A P P E R. and Obama won VA.
