71%

The Missouri Obamacare referendum--a symbolic vote because federal law supercedes state law--passed 71% to 29%.

The vote was confusing in that to reject Obamacare you had to vote yes. To not reject Obamacare you had to vote no.

Two quick explanations for the landslide. One, the rejectors cared more and turned out in larger numbers.

Two, the rejectors actually took the time to educate themselves that yes meant no. The pro-Obamacare crowd probably took less time to educate themselves and thus, some of them voted yes on rejecting Obamacare when they were trying to say yes to Obamacare. This explanation is consistent with the viewpoint that Obotomies are by and large, stupid.
