wow Missouri will have two Democratic senators and they will both be women.

I think I am going to cry. :'(

If that happened, Missouri would join California, Maine and Washington -- although Maine's female senators are both Republicans.  It's an exclusive club.  ;)

It looks like this race is lost.  There's no way a four-point gap can be bridged in slightly less than two years.  Safe D.

And to think we were talking like this less than two years ago. Now the question is whether Blunt will win with over or under 10%.

:'(

One of those comments is sarcasm.  Are you smart enough to figure out which one it is?

Yes, of course I am. Vander Blubb's is scarcastic, but in this context it still points out that Carnahan was ahead by several points two years ago, and now Blunt is crushing her.

As for my intelligence, I am smart enough to sense the arrogance in your comment.

Aw, look at you thinking your smarter than everybody else.

Bless.

Looks like McCaskill will be done too in 2012.

As this poll is a good example of, polls are almost completely irrelevant when they're taken 2 years before an election.

Except for the fact HCR is unpopular and McCaskill was the point person in MO to lead HCR and it went down to defeat in a ballot initiative during the pimary in MO of 2010,

^^^

Two years is a very long time, just about everything can change. Things may very well look much better for McCaskill in 2012.

Sure, if the election were held in 2010 McCaskill would have lost. So what? Think of what would have happened if the 2010 midterms had been held on November 5th 2008.

How nice we have a McCaskill bangwagon, you were the one and druss that says that MO is a generic republican state.

MO is one of those states like OH were the economy is still the lagging indicator, and the dems must hold down unemployment in order to win. If the economy doesn't get better she, Obama and the Dems will lose if it gets below 8%, they will win for sure.

I guess so!

I'm so glad this guy was banned. How annoying are these "IN YOUR FACE" bumps.

This was a troll comment. McCaskill is a darn good politician and so would of Carnahan. No one could of imagine the gaffes of Romney and Akin.

lolwow, this thread is almost the definition of hilarious irony.

Okay, "I will accept my accolades" was a bit funnier, but this is still pretty good given that it's two hilariously failed predictions in a row and really a good example of how reactionary many are to the political environment of one moment.

MO bucks the natl trend and very much like Nevada in sending Dems to statewide offices. Eventhough, it lost its bellweather status in 2008.
