...reverse Bradley effect this go-round. It will be fueled by sweet old ladies who have been voting Republican since Eisenhower and rugged blue-collar workers who were Reagan men but who can't bring themselves to press that button and vote for McCain-Palin.

Creeping. We all know what it is, and whether or not we’d like to admit it, we’ve all done our fair share of it.However, for the small number of you out there that are completely unaware of this semi-shady social reality, a brief series of examples can serve as quick enlightenment.

I had already sent in my absentee ballot two weeks ago, but I was worried whether the rest of the state would follow my lead and select the intelligent choice. Missouri after all is arguably divided into two states when it comes to politics—two large enclaves of blue in St. Louis and Kansas City surrounded by a sea of rural red extending from the northern plains down into my dear Ozark Mountains.
