For the last state elections, everyone & everything I've voted for has lost...today, I must admit, it feels good to be on the winning team!
It wasn't looking good for the McCaskill or Amendment 2, so I decided to go to bed around 11. I didn't lose all hope as I drifted off to dreamland. I knew that the City, county and KC area hadn't been counted yet but, I have to admit, I wasn't holding out much hope. I didn't find out the results of the election until I got to work and everyone was talking about how McCaskill won and Amendment 2 had passed.
I'm still amazed at the turnout in our region, and I'm glad that this time around, the urban areas decided they were going to call the shots. I wonder if voters in our most populated areas learned a thing or two about the power of the rural vote in the last elections and didn't want a bloody nose this time around. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what the turnout was, especially in the City.
Preliminary numbers from the City prove to me that I'm living right where I should. It's a nice feeling knowing that my views and attitudes are held by a majority of city dwellers. That fact definitely instills a deeper sense of community within me.

I think you're right about urban voters. I live in U-City and there were polling place changes and confusion, but everyone stayed in line - even if the wait was long - everyone I saw expressed a dedication to the process, it was really enjoyable. I expressed the same sentiment to my neighbor - people decided that their vote can indeed make a difference and they got out there and did it.
