The Swift Political Decline of Missouri's Jay Nixon

Sorry if this has been posted. I didn't see it anywhere. He was not the most well liked politician before Ferguson. He did have a lot of bipartisan support until now. Now Democrats have every reason to hate him.

"Explain why you gave the order that I supported a week ago to mobilize the guard, to declare a state of emergency, and then at the critical moment you’re nowhere to be found by the mayor of Ferguson," said Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder in an interview with Breitbart News. "This mayor made this desperate call as he was watching from his back porch as his city burned."

But politics has consequences. Nixon saw his Democrats sustain historic new losses in November's elections; the new, veto-proof Republican majority is planning to bring back some of the bills he'd scuttled when he was building a national profile.
