There is no official word yet from Republican gubernatorial candidate Kenny Hulshof, but his campaign manager all but concedes Democrat Jay Nixon has won the race for Missouri’s Governor’s office.

Campaign Manager John Hancock spoke to reporters less than an hour after the polls closed to say it was a tough campaign and that he is, "Disappointed that the people of Missouri didn’t get a chance to know Kenny Hulshof.

Hancock made it clear he is not conceding, pointing out only the candidate can concede, but he made it clear Jay Nixon will be the next Governor of Missouri.
