“In a state where John McCain won by a mere 4,000 votes in 2008, it is clear that the tide has shifted decisively toward the Republican column in 2012,” said David N. Bossie, President of Citizens United. “Missourians say ‘show me’ the results, and it’s clear the Obama-McCaskill team’s failed liberal policies have taken the country and Missouri in the wrong direction.”
