A Nixon White House in 2016? Possible, Some Pundits Say

It's a bit early, but Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon's name is being bandied about as part of a Democratic ticket in 2016.

As Gov. Jay Nixon and Sen. Claire McCaskill led a blue resurgence in a red state in 2012, some started mixing mentions of the Missouri governor with the year 2016. St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan may have been among the first to suggest a Democratic Nixon taking run at White House. But national media have since picked up on the fact that Nixon, a Democrat, has turned up the ability to appeal to Republicans as part of this year's re-election effort, as chronicled by the Huffington Post. “I think if Gov. Nixon were to run for president in 2016, he would use the Bill Clinton model from 1992 and run as a centrist or moderate,” said David Kimball, professor of political science at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.

Obama vs. Romney Campaign: Too Long or Too Important?

A new study from the Pew Research Center says Americans think elections are too long and exhausting. And this year's Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney campaign is sure to be no different.

Republicans and Democrats find little to agree on these days, but they have some similar reactions to the 2012 presidential campaign. Nearly identical percentages of Republicans and Democrats say the election will be exhausting.  That's according to a new Pew Research Center study released Thursday.  The study shows most Americans say the campaign has been too long and dull (56 percent each), while 53 percent say it has been too negative. At the same time, an overwhelming majority (79 percent) views the presidential campaign as important. But this is nothing new, Pew says. The public has long expressed the view that presidential campaigns are too long. In surveys conducted over the past three campaigns, asked at different stages in race, …

The Short Answer

Obama + Cardinals Playoff Game: Expect Traffic Delays Tuesday

The president and Cardinals fans will jockey for space on the roads Tuesday about the same time of day—late afternoon and evening.

Drivers should expect traffic delays to and from downtown St. Louis Tuesday with the Cardinals Division Series playoff Game 3 against Philadelphia taking place at the same time U.S. President Barack Obama visits St. Louis for a private campaign fundraiser. The Cards play the Phillies at 4:07 p.m. in St. Louis at Busch Stadium Tuesday. The series is 1-1 for best of five games. Obama is scheduled to attend a fundraiser at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown St. Louis from 5 to 8 p.m. Because of security concerns, there is no word on the president's exact arrival or departure to and from the event, but it is likely during the hours of the baseball game. Use Metrolink when possible. KMOV reports that several streets downtown will be closed late …
