Nixon Wins Re-Election; Spence Concedes Governor's Race
During his acceptance speech Tuesday, Nixon said many in Missouri grew up hunting and fishing, enjoying nature. “I’ll be out there with them on the first day of deer season,” he said.
Incumbent Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon announced that Republican challenger Dave Spence called to concede the race. “Today, people at the ballots put Missouri’s business above the political squabbling,” Nixon told a room packed with supporters at The Pageant on the Loop. “They told us we’re moving in the right direction,” Nixon said to loud cheering and applause. “You know what else they said? ‘We must keep moving.’” Nixon said instead of demonizing the other party or pitting labor against corporations, Democrats and Republicans must work together to make Missouri competitive in the worldwide economic market. “We have to embrace the common values we all share,” he said. “Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get back to work.” Those among more …
Gubernatorial Candidate Predicts Nixon Win, Hopes Libertarian Message Gets Attention
Jim Higgins said he expects Democrat Jay Nixon to win.
Libertarian Party member Jim Higgins has seen his name on the ballot before in runs for Congress, but Tuesday night he did something for the first time. He voted for himself as a statewide candidate. "It's a thrill," Higgins, a Creve Coeur area resident said after casting his ballot at Craig School. He knows he has an uphill and unlikely climb in his bid for the Governor's office. In fact, he's predicting Jay Nixon will win a second term by a solid margin. "He's not an unpopular governor," Higgins said of Nixon. What did he think about his Republican opponent, businessman Dave Spence? "Outside of claiming that he'd produce jobs,, he didn't really go into detail how he was going to do that so I don't think he was that strong of a candidate…

Gregg, thanks for the cutline on the photo about the one voter wearing an Obama hat. As the person who witnessed it, I let the supervisor at Parkway Northeast Middle School precinct know about it. She felt bad and was apologetic. But the man was seen by two sets of election judges before he got into the voting line. How did they miss something less than 3 feet in front of them? more ›

Whose Political Ad Are You Happy to See Disappear?
With the election only one day away, it's time to fess up: Whether it's Akin, McCaskill, Spence, Nixon or someone else, which political ad will you be happy to see go?
You know the drill. The somber music plays in the background while a deep voice shares a fearful message about a candidate seeking election. Occasionally, a few seconds might be reserved afterward for an inspiring message from that candidate's challenger. These so-called attack ads have grown more prevalent as we've moved closer to the Nov. 6 election. In the U.S. Senate race, an ad from Rep. Todd Akin (R-Wildwood) contains a voice that connects Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to President Barack Obama. The voice references McCaskill's support of the Affordable Care Act and her endorsement of the president in 2008. An ad from McCaskill takes a similar approach in connecting her opponent to the 2012 presidential campaign. The ad begins by …

Political Poll: Spence or Nixon, Who Has Your Vote?
If the election were held today, which Missouri Governor candidate would you vote for?
Three weeks from today the Missouri governor's race will come to an end. In a race you can't miss given the amount of television ads, voters across the Show-Me State will get a chance to vote for new, or old, leadership in Jefferson City. Incumbent Democrat Jay Nixon is taking on Republican Dave Spence for the role of Missouri's governor. The last time we looked at this race, Patch readers seemed to think Spence had the edge. In our poll, Spence picked up 64 percent of the vote to be Nixon, but that poll only had 17 total votes. In the last month have things changed? Does Nixon have your vote? Are you leaning to the new guy Spence? Why? Among the races in Missouri, this one seems to have less interest. Is that true? Are voters more …

Patch Poll: Missouri Republicans Concerned About Dave Spence's Chances In November
The latest "Red Arch" survey takes the pulse of Missouri Republicans regarding statewide races on the November ballot.
Missouri Republicans are bullish on the chances of Secretary of State candidate Shane Schoeller and Lt. Governor Peter Kinder's chances for re-election in November, but a majority are concerned that Dave Spence will not defeat Governor Jay Nixon next month.

Look at all the problems most states are having with their state following the national trend of deficit spending as if that is a solution. Things have been more logical and practical here in Missouri with Nixon as governor. He hasn't followed the democratic trend of Obama. Spence has shown his incompetence with the company he bankrupted. Let's not follow that trail. more ›

Post-Primary: Todd Akin The Biggest Surprise & Jay Nixon Would Win In November
Patch's polling of influential Republicans and Democrats in Missouri also reveals Lt. Governor Peter Kinder has a lot of work to do to rebuild bridges within his own party.
If the November election was held today, a majority of political insiders polled in Missouri, both Democrats and Republicans agreed that Gov. Jay Nixon would win a second term over St. Louis businessman Dave Spence. That was one of the main results of a non-scientific survey of Patch's Red Arch/Blue Arch panelists, taken between Aug. 8 and Aug. 11, after last week's primary elections. A total of 29 responses came in from members of each party using an automated survey tool. When asked about the governor's race, 96.6 percent of Democrats said Nixon would win if the election were held today, while 37.9 percent of Republicans went with Spence in the matchup. U.S. Rep. Todd Akin's win in a spirited GOP primary fight to face Claire McCaskill …
