40% turnout expected in MO

13. Right

A 5% or so increase in turnout is nothing to write home about, especially since it should go up some just from normal population increase alone. But like I said, Mizzou is pretty much a lost cause for the time being. Likely not even close to being a swing state any time soon. But Dem turnout in many other states looks real good so far so I take that as a good sign.

I don't remember Missouri being all that bad back in the late 70s and early 80s when I was working there but I was pretty much apolitical back then so maybe it was and I just wasn't paying any attention. I was too busy chasing skirts, playing softball, getting drunk and trying to learn how to do my job to worry about politics. Ahhh, to be in my 20s again...LOL. That's why Bernie shouldn't have relied so much on the youth vote...they are no more reliable today than I was back then.
