I suppose it matters to some degree, that Gov. Nixon is a Democrat. I wonder what sort of conversations are taking place between the mansion and the WH. One more reason I’ll be first in line for President Obama’s autobio.

It’s a little worrying to think of how this might have played out if the governor had an R after his name. As an outsider, I want to see Obama swoop in with the Feds to restore order but I know it’s not that simple.

I know it has to gnawing at him, though.
