Obama has won everywhere there's a caucus. Once voters hear the arguments and reasoning in favor of Obama, many people switch their votes. Obama had better get the nomination or McCain will be the next president. Oh, and Funkfan, the reason Obama did so much better in KS than MO is that Kansas is a caucus, not a primary.

Anyone who believes that kind of crap already thinks like that anyway, so they don't have to be persuaded. Reminds me of when I went to a screening of "Outfoxed"; when they showed a graph showing the beliefs of people who watched Fox News vs. the beliefs of people who didn't, there was an audible gasp in the theater as if Fox was influencing opinion. No, the people who watch that crap ALREADY think that way, that's why they're so comfortable watching it. Does anyone think free thinkers listen to Rush Limbaugh, for example?

We're smack dab in the middle of wingnut country. And Missourians (I am one) shouldn't be too smug just because this came from Kansas. I can guarantee you things like this little nugget and the fact that Obama is black kept rural Missouri from voting for him on Tuesday. Does this surprise anyone?

That's completely disgraceful. Only a bunch of weasel words prevent this from being libel of the sort that should be acted upon. Wow. That’s completely disgraceful.
