Missouri

Outlook: Leans Republican

11 Electoral Votes (11 in 2000)
Bush won in 2004 by 7.2%

Missouri chose George W. Bush by a 7 percent margin in 2004, its second election in a row supporting the GOP since Bill Clinton captured its Electoral Votes in 1996. The Show Me State has five Republican congressmen and four Democrats, to complement its split Senate delegation. Perhaps a shade too Red to be an obvious battleground, but either side will have to put in some effort to add Missouri to their column this November.
