Unofficial kick-off thread

This discussion thread is pinned.

Post if you live in the Mighty MO.

(We needed something to open this area-there were no threads!)

1. Yo!

Hello from the great southwest of the Show-Me State!

[xmas74]

2. I'm between central

and west central, yet close enough to Truman to make an easy drive.

In other words, I have to listen to multiple weather reports from different areas to cobble together a prediction for the day.

3. I don't anymore, but miss it like crazy!

If you ever doubted that MO is *not* a red state, but truly purple, just come spend a little time with me in the "bluest city in Texas".

4. I know it's not red.

KC, Columbia, and St. Louis are solidly blue and a few of the college towns (including where I live) can flip on occasion. It's more Springfield and the bootheel that are deep red.

FWIW-everyone here has dismissed us as going red in the next election. Personally, I think it'll be more purple, yet again. It's going to be a close race, as long as the GOP offers no other candidates. And if the Dems find a decent candidate for the Fourth it'll go dark blue for that candidate-everyone hates Hartzler around here!

5. Just a few miles west

KC area

6. I figured you'd chime in!

The border is practically Missouri anyway, except you have to deal with Brownback.

7. I'm in KC

In a solidly blue section of the city, happily surrounded by Democrats and Democratic activists (which is why I moved there).

8. Welcome!

I'm about an hour east of you.

There are a few KC DUers here. Unfortunately, few of them post in the Missouri group.

15. I am

in suburb of KC not to far from the stadium’s. Edge of Raytown. KCMO is across the street from me.

9. Capital City present.

A plague of Teabaging protesters in this area. I guess they see this place as their last stand at the Alamo?

[Rebkeh]

10. In KC now, at the rally

There are a LOT of people in line.

How do you post pics?

[xmas74]

11. You might have to host them somewhere else

and then link to them. I haven't posted pics in years on here but that's how it used to be. If nothing else you can go to the Help forum and ask for further.

I'd love to see a thread here with your pics!

12. Montreal here...

actually rural, near Camdenton.

Pretty red here...religious leaders apparently don't have to abide by rules to keep their
tax-free status. "Cause all the Xtians here know that PBO is a muslim. The preacher told them.

Voting this afternoon. Always all 'D'. Always.

I'm old but I'm not stupid.

Saw a T-shirt like that yesterday.

14. Springfieldian here!

Hope my city flips blue soon.

16. I'm back

I've been gone for a long time but after dolt45 got his comeuppance I had to check in it's been so long all my old stuff is gone so I'll start over again.
