Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

Claire McCaskill is Blanche Lincoln.  Nothing can save her from a landslide loss.

This. But Akin will make it a bit harder.

She'll lose in the upper singles or low doubles rather than 20 but similar dynamic. State is rapidly Republicanizing and she's hung out to dry.

I agree completely. Even with all the spending she's been doing, she's still trailing her opponents. She had also hoped the GOP primary would be extremely divisive and help her in the general election, but that isn't the case.

She doesn't seem like she'll be able to outperform Obama by more than a couple of points, if at all. And I fully expect him to lose by more than that. Voters are quite apathetic towards her and see her as just another Democrat. She doesn't have the personal affinity or numbers that a Democrat running in a state as red as Missouri needs in a non-Dem wave year (unlike Heitkamp or Tester).  Once the outside groups enter, she's done.

Ronald Wilson Reagan had a surging, booming, and illustrious economy. Heck, you couldn't walk down a street without making a 100$.

Do liberals hate him because he is a figurehead of success for classical economics?

The DNC and DSCC abandoned Blanche VERY early. Claire hasn't been abandoned yet. I think she's definitely the underdog, but I think she may just pull it out. It will be close though.

Closer than Lincoln's race, but a decent 5 to 9 point defeat is likely.

Charlie Cook thinks she still has a chance with Akin but I agree with Chuck Todd that she's done. IMO Akin is a Berg, not an Angle. (Around 6:15 or so)

If Obama invests in the state and keeps it close she might have a chance. Things aren't looking bright for her Senate career, however.

Results will start coming in any minute. Brunner's base is western MO and St. Louis, Steelman rural counties, Akin STL/rural.

Very first results from 2 rural counties: Steelman 47, Akin/Brunner 23.

Akin has been ahead for quite a while now but not by much. Brunner was in second, but it was clear from most of the counties in rural MO that he would fall to third and he has done so now.
 
Still very close and a lot left to go, but it appears only Steelman has a chance of beating Akin, now.

I say Akin unless Steelman pulls a miracle.

Lesson learnt from MO/NE: Whoever mudslings the least closest to P-Day wins.

I think there's still a long ways to go. Akin is favored, but I think Steelman could still certainly win, looking at outstanding counties. There seems to be no pattern in this map, though. Tongue

That is Steelman's biggest problem, though. She really needed to dominate a particular region of the state. She will win many counties, but by small margins in places that would produce small margins anyway based on their size. Meanwhile, Akin has St. Lo. Granted Brunner is taking some of that pie, it isn't enough to seriously cause problems for Akin.
