Missouri Democrats: We're Ready
The statement from the Missouri Democratic Party after former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum's win in the GOP presidential primary in the Show Me State:
"Today, Missouri Democrats came together in a show of strength and organization that truly stands in stark contrast to our Republican counterparts. While the results aren't much of a surprise, President Obama made a strong showing here in a Missouri primary that encouraged the most Missourians possible to have their votes counted in the nominating process. On the other hand, the Missouri Republican Party will continue to ignore the votes cast on Primary Day and instead, they'll let a handful of insiders gather in March to decide which presidential candidate they'll support at convention."

(44,173 posts)1. I do hope Obama will make a full court press for Missouri in the fall
He came close last time and PPP says that he could do it, if he makes a full effort.
