One of the most famous political pictures of all time features Harry S Truman, fresh from winning the 1948 presidential election, holding a copy of the Chicago Tribune with the headline "Dewey Wins" aloft.
Now Jack Truman, no relation to the Lamar-born former president, will have a chance to do something similar. He can hold up a newspaper with a headline (much smaller I am sure) saying "Blunt Wins." Unfortunately for the director of the film, Phone Sex Grandma," this time the headline will be accurate.
Associated Press has projected Roy Blunt the winner in the Seventh District Congressional race.

The Chicago Tribune headline was actually:
"DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN"
It was all caps and ran as a banner headline.
Randy, you are pretty good with details. How did you whiff on that one?
You're absolutely right. I was going too fast and for once, my only proofreading was spellcheck. I will try to do better.
