Border War indeed. I personally, am against stem cell research, but that's not really the point in this case is it? This was an issue that was decided in Missouri, yet as in the case of "Looter's Lane", Kansas isn't content to mind their own business.

The writing's on the wall. The Republicans lost a much needed Senate seat because of "Chicken Jim" Talent's South-Hating and Carpet Bagging, (which didn't exactly help the immigration problem in our state). Now there are signs that the Republicans are going to lose their grip of Missouri at the State level.

The recent Nathan Cooper scandal, has given them a black eye. In addition the Southeast Missourian newspaper reported that ...

"For Blunt, it was at least the eighth visit to Southeast Missouri -- and the sixth to Cape Girardeau -- since May 31. The trip was part of a statewide education tour, with the costs of his travel, Blunt said, being borne by his re-election campaign"

Wow, that's alot of visits down here Guvner. Perhaps he is getting desperate. Cape Girardeau is a Republican stronghold and it appears that he might be worried about shoring up his base.

So basically nothing has changed in 144 years. The Radical Republicans unable to get Missourians to bend the way they want them to, have turned to Kansas in an attempt to get the desired results.
