The fact that she is improving while Bush's numbers are (supposedly) improving, and gas prices are coming down, is very interesting!

It seems her numbers are stagnant. What's surprising is that an incumbent senator has fallen from 46% to 43% in two months.

Talent has never been popular in Missouri, and is not a particularly memorable or likable guy.

Wow, who would have thought MO would be competitive?

Missouri is more often than not quite competitive in senatorial and governors races!  Heck even Bond only gets like 53% at best.

How do they stand on most issues? I remember you said your parents were only "vaguely" religious and never really talked about it even when they sent you to Catholic school, so I assume they aren't theocrats. Do they just vote based on money?

They vote primarily on money, though Dad is a Goldwaterish type and is a quite vehement about property rights and economic issues.  Mom is less economically conservative and closer to being a religious.. she is certainly fairly prudish - though no more so than most women of her generation.  I think a lot of people become prudes in old age anyway - since it is physically impossible for them to enjoy life, they want to make sure no one does.

Dems won’t win Rhode Island; Chafee is a popular incumbent...
... beyond PA the Dems best chances are probably Montana where Burns is much weaker than the polls have suggested but is still favoured to win and Mississippi should Lott retire and Dem Mike Moore run.       

Missouri is a better prospect than Rhode Island.  Talent is simply not personally popular.

from what a gather, talent is the best missouri can do.  remember carnahan?  she wasnt fit to a receptionist, much less a senator.

How do the individual's 'qualifications' matter in this job, WalterMitty?  As long as she votes the same way as the other Democrats, I couldn't care less how smart or knowledgeable she is (heck look at Bush!).

Talent is worse than Bond - more right-wing, and more of a religious.
