Latest Polls Show Obama & Lapdog McCaskill Getting Trounced in “Battleground” Missouri

Missouri says – “No MO “O”!”
You can see this sign on Highway 371 seven miles south of St. Joseph, Missouri.
Hat Tip Shane
The latest Rasmussen poll has Mitt Romney trouncing Barack Obama in “battleground” state Missouri, 49-42. Mitt Romney’s support continues to hover around the 50% mark in Missouri.
Things are not any better for Claire McCaskill, Missouri’s Nancy Pelosi…
This anti-McCaskill sign is posted east of Springfield off of Interstate 44.
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is trailing all three of her Republican challengers by 10 points. Missouri Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill’s three leading Republican challengers – Rep. Tood Akin, Former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman, and businessman John Brunner - all now earn 50% or more of the vote in matchups with her.
If country signs are a predictor – It could be a rough year for Democrats in Missouri.
This is the reverse side of the sign bashing McCaskill.
This is posted on Highway 371 seven miles south of St. Joseph, Missouri. The owner said it cost him $450 to make the sign. He’s serious about dumping Obama.

Brunner negative campaign is a huge turn off. He blasts on Todd Akin who has served district 2 with honor is disgusting. I am not sure if he would be any better than the sleazy politician we have in there now. I think he is going to be a go along to get along republican. I wonder if Brunner is the republican donor who told Akin he would pull his financial support if he voted against TARP.
Pugzi commented:
I agree Bruner’s negative ads are a real turnoff. I think Akin has the advantage of name recognition. I am happy to see Obama queen McCaskill is doing so poorly, hope it continues.
Obama will not win Missouri, but I think he already knows that. He doesn’t need Missouri in order to get re-elected, though. So our rejoicing in Obama not winning Missouri is short lived.
Flintstone F. commented:
Three months out from the election with the incumbent polling in the low 40′s in a so-called battleground state, is worst case scenario, for said incumbent. In other words, just more proof Obama is toast.
A one term proposition. That was the deal.
bobdog commented:
Even though Obama deserves a spot near the bottom of the list of all US presidents, and as much as I despise his twisted view of what America should be, what matters is the electoral college, because at least at the moment, that’s what is going to put him right back in the oval office next January.
Incredible as it may sound, Obama currently leads Romney in electoral college votes 231 to 181, according to Real Clear Politics daily tracking. I can think of no president in my lifetime who deserves an obscure, bitter retirement more than Obama, but that’s the way it is. The fact is, he has all the big states: Californica, Illinois, New York, and most of the liberal east coast, and that’s where the electoral college votes are. The swing states are going to be important.

BigL, it’s politics moron.
Get a clue, it’s smash mouth
Politics. Grow up.
illini guy commented:
Like 2008 a key decider will be the “Catholic” vote. Catholics were the big dog group of the Reagan Democrats. While most are nominally Catholic, their faith informs a part of who they are: mostly blue collar or one generation removed, believe in helping the less fortunate BUT think private charities are best suited to that mission, FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE and squeamish about most social issues eg. abortion gay marriage etc. They will abandon O in November and put Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Minnesota and Michigan in play.
Spider commented:
Yes we understand the electoral college. Its what distinguishes us from raw democracy. The concentration of liberals in a few big states is an advantage to conservatives. It isolates the far left vote. This will allow the other states to determine the election outcome.
It boils down to the so called ‘battleground states’ – Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, etc.
I’m not buying polling that has O winning these.

These polls are over a month and a half old.
Not that they aren’t accurate (I certainly hope that they are), just that it’s old news.

Here Come The Fed: Home Sales Drop More Than Expected, Mortgage Purchase Applications Drop Too
For June, home purchases decreased to a 350,000 annual rate, down 8.4 percent from the prior month and the weakest since January, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The forecast was for 372,000 units, a big swing and a miss. The decline was led by a record 60 percent plunge in the Northeast. And 350,000 units is down from the upwardly revised number of 382,000 for May. The Mortgage Bankers Association released their weekly mortgage application indices this morning. As I mentioned to Lori Rothman on Fox Business last week, the MBA Purchase Index is an important index to…

Lastly, don’t forget about “Taxegeddon” where there are over 20 next Obamacare taxes and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts.
Is the housing bust over? I would say that the evidence points towards purgatory. We need SERIOUS economic growth and improvement in employment to call an end to housing’s problems.

Former SEAL Shares Tips on How to Protect Yourself in a Shooting Like That in Colorado
[...]If a violent event, such as a shooting, were to occur, Webb then explains the difference between taking cover and concealment. He says that “concealment” merely hides oneself, while “cover” would hide and protect.
“It’s the difference between hiding behind a movie seat or a concrete wall,” he writes. “Think and move. A good decision executed quickly is better than a great one never executed. Violence of action, as we call it in the Spec Ops community, will often change the odds in your favor.”[....]
He suggests if one had a flashlight with a high lumens, they use it to blind the assailant:
The high powered beam would have taken away his vision for 3-4 seconds, which is an eternity and enough time to flight or fight. There’s also no shame in surviving and getting you and your loved ones out of harm – especially little ones.
Webb recommends a 200+ lumens flashlight that is waterproof, LED and runs off a 3-volt lithium battery. He says they are light, non-lethal and can be carried anywhere (including through airport security). For this tool, Webb said “I can’t recommend this purchase enough.”
He also advises those serious about protection to look up classes by former military or law enforcement in their area. If you are truly concerned about an attack, he recommends avoiding high-profile places with large crowds in the first place.[...]

Jay, that guy did not build that sign!
[Whisper… whisper]
He really did! My pollsters said they liked me! My pollsters suck! And, so does David Axelrod! I think he has been lying to me all along!
Let me be clear, I never did really build a following in Missouri. It was an illusion built by my crappy campaign people.
David Axelrod I am looking at you! Axelrod, the Bus Wheels can be varying deadly!
Oh, well Missouri is just a “Fly-over” state for me. Claire McCaskill is going to lose and she won’t even admit she is gay or planning to marry other women. How can we bring Gay Marriage to these strait white clingers unless my donkeys set the trend? All of my cronies are blundering idiots!
Besides, there are too many little farms and business in Missouri. And, there are not enough people on Disability or other government welfare to make it worth while.
These little people are not like my donors in California. Hope their gas prices go through the roof and their homes go into foreclosure!
I need to get back to my root in San Francisco. Those people have the best bath houses in the country. Barney Frank will agree with me! And, no the Gay Cisco Kids did not buy their own condoms – the government did!
If you like the way besmirch business and strait couples – vote for me. Send me $30.00 before midnight. My campaign is running out of cash!
My bus is belching fumes and David Axelrod has a new scam to inflict upon my California donors. It’s the Sand Castle scam. And, who cares about my idiot California donors? They always vote for me. I saw screw them for all they are worth and let their homes be saddled with negative equity! I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

McCaskill (and Obama) is getting the appropriate attention — let’s hope it gains momentum right up through election day.

Looking for one of these signs to put in our yard. Wonder how long it will be before city give me a fine and tells me to get rid of it.
Scott commented:
The McCaskill race will tighten, perhaps a lot, after the August primary. She has a ton of dough to spend after she knows who her opponent is. Plus, she’s worked and lived in both K.C. and St. Louis, so she has a big network of supporters there, which is where most of the state’s Democrats live. It’s going to be much easier for her to execute her “ground game and get out the vote effort” than her opponent because her voters are concentrated geographically in the state’s two biggest cities (and to a lesser extent, Columbia).
Do not take a McCaskill defeat for granted. If Obama’s approval ratings do not suddenly collapse down in the high 30s (which is possible if the economy continues to weaken), then I strongly believe McCaskill’s race is going to be much closer in November than that polling suggests.
Get your friends and family energized to vote for whoever wins the primary next month. McCaskill needs to be retired.

Claire McCaskill, the chameleon, blue for this audience, red for that one, purple for the rest. If McCaskill focused soley on her acting, she’d give Meryl Streep some stiff competition.
