I was looking at some new CNN polling data tonight (link at bottom) concerning the U.S. Senate races and Obama approval ratings in several states, including my beloved Show-Me State of Missouri. The complete disconnect of Obama and the democrat party from those of us here in the American Heartland has been discussed many times in this space, and the same is on no better display than in the Missouri polling numbers, where Obama's approval ratings are starting to approach the abysmal (and deservedly so) levels of W Bush in his second term.61% of likely voters in Missouri disapprove of Obama's job performance, while only a paltry 34% approve (we do, after all, have a lot of blind democrat party partisans in our two major metropolitan areas of Kansas City and St. Louis). My people -- the Independents and the non-liberal, non-conservative dems and repubs of the Missouri small towns and rural areas -- are clearly driving such numbers.
These numbers bode very poorly for your Robin Carnahans and Ike Skeltons of the world. I couldn't give a rat's behind about the Carnahan race, because I think her GOP opponent Roy Blunt is just as much of a slimeball as she is. But as to Skelton, I'll laugh my ass halfway to Columbia on November 2 if voters in his district send him into retirement after 35 years in the House. It's time for you to go, old man, since you're nothing more than a career politician and incessant AND MINDLESS rubberstamp for the far leftist dems who control DC these days.
