President Barack Obama in Cedar Rapids, Iowa – July 10, 2012.

Vote to make that happen.

It looks like Missouri is gonna create a new standard for the crazification factor.

Public Policy Polling (PPP) released the results [pdf] of their final Missouri election poll today. They interviewed 835 “likely voters” on November 2nd and 3rd. The margin of error is 3.4%.

Q2 The candidates for Senate are Democrat Claire McCaskill, Republican Todd Akin, and Libertarian Jonathan Dine. If the election was today, who would you vote for?

Claire McCaskill – 48%

Todd Akin – 44%

Jonathan Dine – 6%

Undecided – 2%

There’s this gem:

….[Jay] Nixon continues to be among the more popular Governors in the country with a 51/31 approval spread….

So much for expending political capital.

Isn’t it interesting that republicans always say they venerate the U.S. Constitution, but they don’t ever appear to have actually read it?:

Article VI

….the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

The republicans are dropping a pile of nasty attack mail pieces on Kevin Morgan, the Democratic Party candidate in the 38th Legislative District. Here’s a facebook photo from his campaign, showing and answering a republican attack piece:

This afternoon we accompanied a canvassing crew working in Raymore, Missouri for Teresa Hensley’s (D) 4th Congressional District campaign.

This household had a big friendly dog.

They definitely got a reminder to vote on Tuesday.

Checking the turf.

We encountered young teens working the same neighborhoods doing a literature drop on behalf of Vicky Hartzler (r). Children.
