Tuesday marks seven weeks out from the Nov. 6 when the general election.
Most of the attention has focused on the race to the White House, but there are other races voters will be deciding. Last week we polled the St. Charles CountyPatch readership on the race for the Senate between Claire McCaskill and Todd Akin. After a lengthy discussion, the voters were tabulated. Akin was a clear favorite with 88 votes (71 percent) to McCaskill's 35 votes (28 percent).
This week's political poll will focus on Jefferson City. Incumbent Democrat Jay Nixon is taking on Republican Dave Spence . Does Nixon have your vote? Are you leaning to the new guy Spence? Why?

Spence is not a carreer politician.We need somebody who has made it in the real world.

One of the things that is a big negative for Jay Nixon is he killed the "Tour of Missouri" bike race. The money spent to promote the event would have paid off both short term and long term. Missouri missed an opportunity to get national and world wide exposure.

Anyone who has his nose up Obama's rear is NOT getting my vote!

Look at all the problems most states are having with their state following the national trend of deficit spending as if that is a solution. Things have been more logical and practical here in Missouri with Nixon as governor. He hasn't followed the democratic trend of Obama. Spence has shown his incompetence with the company he bankrupted. Let's not follow that trail.
