McCain narrowly wins Missouri (maybe) as the state goes from red to purple

Missouri may have lost its reputation for accuracy in choosing the president (McCain is leading by less than 7,000 votes with thousands of provisional ballots still to be counted), but it definitely retained its status as a state of independent-minded people who will vote for Democrats and Republicans on the same ticket.

PRESIDENT – red (McCain)
GOVERNOR – blue (Nixon)
LT. GOVERNOR – red (Kinder)
ATTY GEN – blue (Koster)
SEC. of STATE – blue (Carnahan)
TREASURER – blue (Zweifel)
