I'm sure many of you are aware of this, but for those who are not, here is a remarkable data point I just read about last week:

In the last 25 Presidential elections (1904-2000), the candidate who had the most votes in Missouri, has won the Presidency in 24 of those 25 elections.

The only exception: 1952 when Adlai Stevenson got the most votes in Missouri, but still lost the election to Dwight Eisenhower.

Talk about your Bellwether with a capital B, bolded and underlined!

very interesting hopefully the record will continue when Bush wins the state and the election in 2004

Being from the other party, of course, I am hoping that the trend is not 24 of 25, but actually 12 out of every of 13 (24 of 26)!  This is the year!
