34. You can't win in MO with the urban vote alone
Claire McCaskill proved that in 2006. The cities won't carry an election in the state. Never have.

And I really disagree about Nader because I honestly believe it was the racist voters in the southern rural areas. I have spent way too much time in southern MO. How else can you explain the overwhelming votes for a Democratic governor yet the same areas voting for McCain?

I also don't think the Green Party members are fools. There are quite a few in our peace movement in MO and all the ones I know were totally in the tank for Obama this time. Several of the local Green leaders I know were very active on the Obama campaign. In fact, was the Green Party even on the ballot in MO? I haven't seen them listed in any of the results I have seen.
