At last Glance Missourians have outstandingly let their voice be heard in the chaos.

As of 21:10 tonight a whopping 75% of the voters have rejected the Obama Health Care Program

Roy Blunt won the Republican nomination for Senator and will face Robin Carnahan.

Looking at just straight numbers, had this been a real election, Carnahan would have lost. Her 84,000 votes vastly trailing Roy Blunts 185,000 votes. Chuck Purgason, the local tea Party favorite, trailed in with 32,000 votes at current time.

None of these numbers are final, (in fact, as of this writing only 1,327 of 3354 precincts have reported) but for it only being a mere 3 hours since voter polls closed, it’s extremely telling just the same.

For over 40 years Missouri has been the litmus test for elections, especially Presidential elections.

If that holds true still, then we have proven something this day:

The fight against ObamaCare, and the upcoming November elections, just got very interesting, and all sides had better be playing for keeps.

For those visitors whom are not Missouri residents Proposition C summary reads as follows (whole text is here):

Shall the Missouri Statutes be amended to:

* Deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services?
* Modify laws regarding the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies?

It is estimated this proposal will have no immediate costs or savings to state or local governmental entities. However, because of the uncertain interaction of the proposal with implementation of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, future costs to state governmental entities are unknown.

Fair Ballot Language:
A “yes” vote will amend Missouri law to deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services. The amendment will also modify laws regarding the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies.

A “no” vote will not change the current Missouri law regarding private health insurance, lawful healthcare services, and the liquidation of certain domestic insurance companies.

If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.

I’m impressed we did as well as we did, but I am not surprised at the overall reaction.

Folks are getting tired of the elitism I think
