Ken,
    We in Missouri are expecting an 85% voter turnout.I believe it
considering I was voter 557 at 10 am ! Of course, part of the reason for this
is our governor dying..(He was in a very tight race for the Senate.) The new
governor has asked his widow to step in should he happen to win the Senate
seat.When he died, by state law it was too late to remove him from the
ballot.I guess people must feel that their one vote COULD make a difference
this time.
