It actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Missouri is a mixture of both the midwest and the south. Obama absolutely blew McCain out of the water in the midwest which is why it became so narrow. However, the shallow south (Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky) trended towards McCain. As a result, Obama managed to eat up almost all of Bush's margin, but McCain stood strong enough in culturally southern parts of the state to survive the onslaught just enough to eeke it out by around 4k votes.
