Late Night Election Reporting




Camp Talent showed little confidence in a win at this point and though Talent remains in the lead with only 900 of 3746 reporting. I just got back from Republican Party headquarters at the Oasis Convention center in Springfield. The Republican mood is bittersweet - major area wins for the Republicans in Springfield ... Aunt Norma Champion is victor over Doug Harpool who ran an impressive campaign with some innovations that will change the face of Missouri Elections forever.

Prosecuting Attorney for Greene County had some words to say about the press...Psssst you're not doing your job and democracy as we know it is threatened. He elaborated in a video interview I'll be posting later. Point is - Newspapers are lazy and are willing to print verbatim whatever the prosecution attorneys are willing to send out. "Doesn't that work to your advantage?" It doesn't work to the people's advantantage a point he drives home as the biggest problem with our legal system today.....

I'm with Professor Cline and Springfield News-leader's Tony Messenger ....we're the last men standing as far as live election blogging goes.
