By a nearly 3-to-1 margin, Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected the mandatory healthcare provision of King Obama's healthcare legislation. I will link the relevant articles, but I view this as yet another indication - aside from the fact that Obama's approval rating is at a record low for any President at this point in his term - that the American people will hammer the Obama agenda at the polls this November. Here's the news link: Healthcare referendum: Obama Gets Hammered
Here's some interesting data compiled by FoxNews (for the record, I normally refuse to use Fox as a source for information, but this is pure numerical data). Keep in mind that the registered party split in Mizzou is roughly 50/50: Yes 667,680/No 271,102; Total Republican primary votes cast: 577,615; Subtract the Republicans from the "yeses"...and you have 90,065 "yeses" that came from non-Republicans - most of those "yeses" came from Democrats. Here's the link: Take THAT Obama.
What would be even more interesting to me is if States would place ballot referundums contesting the entire healthcare legislation this November. I believe that, other than in the heavily-dependent welfare/entitlement States like California, New York and Illionois, that voters would overturn this piece of garbage legislation.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the general vote plays out in November, but my view right now is that there will be voting backlash against Obama that will be even more overwhelming that one we saw against Bush in 2006/2008.
