Let's run down the area racesSam GravesSam GravesNancy BoydaNancy Boyda for Congress:

Dennis Moore will carry the day in Kansas' 3rd District. The comfort level remains for a candidate who has earned voters' trust, though Nick Jordan has run an effective campaign.

In the Kansas 2nd District, Democrat Nancy Boyda wins re-election in the most competitive race on the Mo-Kan board, save for the Missouri 9th District race.

Boyda knows how to run in Kansas with her all-out hustle on the hustings and her newspaper inserts.

In Missouri's 6th District, Sam Graves will win a surprisingly easy race against Democrat Kay Barnes. We expected this one to go into overtime. Instead, it was over early in the 4th quarter.

Cleaver and Skelton skate.
