I don't know how the burbs in St Louis will vote, but considering their proximity to IL, I suspect they will favor O. Columbia, being a college town and quite liberal, will go overwhelmingly D. A large part of KC's suburbs are in the KS side but I believe that their MO counterparts will vote D this year. If the D GOTV effort is effective in urban areas, O should win easily in MO this year. Three (well, 4 really) weeks to go. Of course, everything can change next week.
