25. No, it was +6% in St. Louis County |

St. Louis county, which contains most of St. Louis inner suburbs, is a swing district. Apparently the general rule of thumb is that if the Democrat wins by more than 6%, they'll carry the state. Kerry for awhile during the count was 6% ahead, so it looked like there might be an upset.
Ultimately, though, he lost St. Louis county and the state.
At the same time, the county did elect a liberal black man as it's county executive (Democrat).
