Aiemond--KC is always a Dem stronghold with a rather mixed demographic. It stands to note, though, that although Kansas City is a large center of Kansas population, Kansas will be won by McCain.  It has gone Rep. every election since 1964 and that was only b/c of the Kennedy sympathy.

 

 Yes, Jackson county typically is a stonghold. This is part of the strategy of racking up the numbers in the city to offset the rural areas. Now, we have a couple interesting things this election. First, Obama is beginning to pick up Suburban voters. I have seen Obama signs going up in Blue Springs lately. Second, the rally will get ample time in the KC star and the local news channels. This will promote Obama exposure. So, it helps him rack up those numbers in the metropolitan areas. Plus, it will be fun. :)

Campaign events are meant to excite people, and give exposure. This is exactly what it will do. Blue , Blue ;)

Kansas, you are right, they will go republican. There is a 0% chance that it will flip. And even this number is too high :P
