Missouri doesn't want to jump to any premature conclusions. We are the "Show-me" state, after all. I've long considered the "bellweather" status as just a flike.  The race is very close and I guess there could be a recount. McCain is leading Obama by about 5,000 votes and there are some 7,000 provisional ballots that still need to be counted. Most of these are likely to be Democratic voters based on geography...but these voters were aparently too befuddled to find their way to the right polling place. If they went to the wrong polling place the vote won't be counted even if they were otherwise qualified. It takes a while to figure out who is qualified and why they were given a provisional ballot. And at this point, who cares anyway.
