Bellwether Politics in Missouri
-
David Brian Robertson
Professor Robertson explains what makes Missouri a consistent bellwether state in presidential politics, and points to trends in the electorate that show why it will continue to be a microcosm of American politics. In describing recent state campaigns, he demonstrates how the deep urban-rural split in Missouri will endure far beyond the 2004 elections. Missouri Republicans have seized the advantage of a growing rural base and nurtured a rural-suburban alliance. While demographic and policy trends have weakened the Democrats, their ability to adapt has kept them competitive in statewide elections. Early returns in St. Louis County may indicate how Missouri will deliver its electoral votes.
