I'd rather see Blunt win than Young. Bayh is absolutely terrible of course, but Missouri doesn't need another annoying liberal Senator who legislates as if they're representing Maryland in the Senate. Also, Kander would probably be a future presidential contender.

McCaskill is a fine blue dog democrat. She has evolved over the years and represents the state well.

Kander winning is very important because he is the new breed of blue dog Democrat. Pragmatic, rather then socially conservative.

I have a prediction:

MO Senate 2016 will  be the closest race in the nation. Even by raw votes. A recount will occur.

I'm actually predicting that as well, lol.

And regarding McCaskill... well, she's a moderate the same way Ron Johnson is a moderate. Fortunately, she doesn't have the necessary skills and charisma that Kander has to beat Ann Wagner in two years.

That requires Ann Wagner to actually win the Republican nomination. And I will not take part in predicting elections past this cycle.

All I would think is Wagner may be favored, particularly if Kander wins. I can not see MO sending two Democrats to Senate long term and an open MO-02 may be interesting, so long as Clinton popularity is not horrendous.

A lot of the MO GOP are mad at Wagner for dumping Trump. But I have actually respected her more since then.

lol
How would Kander's voting record differ from Cardin's? It wouldn't: TNVol is right.

lmao no way! I can ASSURE you that Kander will stand up to the socialists Hillary will appoint to the Supreme Court.
