Missouri is a swing state

Couldn’t resist drawing this dream I had about Missouri last night. I’m glad I voted today, feel like I’m helping make history.

Missouri is called a bellweather state, it’s voted for all the presidents except one since 1904. Recently Obama pulled ahead in the polls, so hoping that is a good sign. Voting here will closing in less than an hour — waiting for good news!

Update: Missouri is still too close to call. With a difference of only 6000 votes, provisional ballots still have to be counted, which officials say could take up to two weeks. Anyway it looks like the state will go red, even though Obama has won both the popular and electoral votes.

    Great drawing, Pam! While I don’t have much confidence in the majority of Missouri voters, I am reasonably sure that the rest of the nation will be less hidebound, and will push us over the needed 270! Here’s to HOPE!

    Love the drawing. I can’t believe that they haven’t called Missouri, yet. But what the heck we don’t need you.
