I think the real question is whether Missouri should be pronounced 'Missouri' or 'Missoura'. Personally I'm more of a fan of the latter over the former.
 
I don't think it's changed much. The state bleeds red outside KCMO and St Louis I believe. It's probably the better of the 4 States that make up the heart of America.

If anything caused a change in the state it's probably from internet influences in suburban areas from the two biggest cities.
 
I think it was immigration. Democrats started playing to Hispanics and non-whites in general but there's not that many of them (proportionally) in Missouri - thus politics in the midwest became based off of ethnicity as well as wealth causing a rightward shift.

Boone County is the only other always blue county.

I'd love to move to the Ozarks myself but it's economically dead.

It's not as dead as most of the state is in that regard. If you live around Columbia/Jefferson city jobs and opportunity are pretty plentiful.

I'll look into it thanks. Missouri seems like a pretty cheap place to live and I love the greenery. The state is a great example why you should always support your state/national parks.
 
Not sure that it did change. Political distribution seems typical: Democrats in the big cities, Republicans everywhere else. At least that's what I've observed from visiting family there.

If you ever find yourself passing through the KCMO area; there's a really cool natural landmark preserved in one of it's suburbs, Blue Springs. There's an actual sapphire colored spring, hence the name. It's not too extravagant like the Ozarks or as exciting but it's a very pretty sight. Took a bit of a hike to get to though, best small time sight I saw while I visited the state.

If you're passing through on a Sunday though, you may see Humvees driving around potentially.

Seems like I recall something about Mizzou having to sell some of its dorms because people stopped enrolling after that one chimp out.

And her chimp out gived us a good meme. ;-)
