AP calls Missouri governor race

The Associated Press has called the governor’s race in Missouri and declared that Democrat Jay Nixon will be the next governor. However, republican candidate Kenny Hulshof’s campaign manager John Hancock said that Hulshof has not conceded yet and has no plans for a concession right now.

            “I’m obviously disappointed that the Associated Press called the race at 7 o’clock Hancock said. “We’re going to wait and see the numbers come in. Hopefully things will turn around, but if they don’t, this great man – this great Missourian –  Kenny Hulshof will be down and he will talk to the people of Missouri .”

            The mood at the Hulshof’s election party in Columbia is a somber one. It seems as if the small gathering is anticipating a Hulshof concession speech later on this evening.
