........Please Give to Democrats Abroad Argentina
Let the great game begin! Sure we'll be following the presidential race like everybody else. But the real fun will be right in your ol' back yard. This is a magic year for Democrats. Conventional wisdom says we don't have a chance at a "veto proof" majority in Congress ...but this year, anything can happen! Click your home State ...or any of the ones that you're interested in.

MISSOURI

The Senate: No Race...


The House:...

  • Missouri's 9th congressional district — Incumbent Kenny Hulshof is retiring to run for Governor of Missouri, after having not faced a serious Congressional challenger in the past five election cycles. The district leans Republican but was Democratic until Hulshof's election in 1996, although redistricting in 2000 made the district slightly more Republican-leaning than it was in the 90s. It includes several western St. Charles County suburbs of St. Louis and a large amount of rural areas (which are normally Republican) but also the Democratic leaning college town of Columbia. State Representative Judy Baker declared first for the seat in December, and was later joined by Marion County Commissioner Lyndon Bode, former state Public Service Commissioner Steve Gaw, and former state Senator Ken Jacob as Democratic candidates upon Hulshof's retirement. On the Republican side, former University of Missouri football star Brock Olivo [104], state Representative Danielle "Danie" Moore[105], state Representative Bob Onder[106], state Tourism Director Blaine Luetkemeyer[107] have announced their candidacies. Bush won 58% here in 2004 (CPVI=R+7).
