Missouri has voted for the winning candidate all but once since 1900. In 2000 Bush got 1,189,924 votes (50%), Gore not far behind at 1,111,138 (47%), and Nader with 38,515 (2%).

Of course winning one's home state isn't guaranteed as Gore proved but I think Gephardt would do better in Missouri (and the Midwest and South) than Sen. Kerry.

Democrats had better hope for positive improvement over the next year.

<b>Gephardt in Missouri:</b>
A new poll out last week from Research 2000 showed Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri with a commanding home state lead among Democratic presidential contenders.

Gephardt led second-place Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts 45 percent to 13 percent. Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut was third at 11 percent, while former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean was fourth at 9 percent.

A hypothetical matchup with President Bush in the general election wasn't as rosy. The poll showed Bush trouncing Gephardt 52 percent to 38 percent.
