MO-SEN 2018: The Megathread

[jamestroll]

Just FYI... for St. Louis County, MO which Claire may need to win nearly 2 to 1 to win statewide that there is a correlation between how trumpy an area is and how many bunnies you see in the wild. The more  bunnies there are the more trumpy it is.

Didnt know the Boston Suburbs were hardcore Trumpers.....

This debate is painful to watch. I support McCaskill, but Hawley is doing a pretty good job.

[SCNCmod]

If Hawley is pulling ahead- I think its unfortunate... McCaskill strikes me as worlds ahead of Hawley regarding what the Senate needs and who would ultimately be the best for Missouri overall... (And I've just always liked McCaskill for her political savvy).

[SCNCmod]

In looking at the Ads from MO... McCaskill has a great overall ad campaign- But the Hawley Ad about pre-existing conditions (posted Below) (Granted its a completely dishonest Ad, given that his healthcare positions do not ensure pre-existing protection)... but dishonesty aside, it seems like a very effective ad for winning over some undecided voters who were unsure about Hawley (makes him "seem" likeable and more moderate).

Dishonest yet effective since... many probably will not know its false (since most voters, especially undecided, tend to follow politics much less closely than politicos)....

Galloway will pull McCaskill over the finish line.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I don’t give a crap about a missouri state auditor, worst consolation prize ever if McCaskill loses.

Well it is the position that would watch the entire government which is all ran by the GOP. There is a reason it is elected off years. If I had it my way I would also elect the attorney general in midterms.

Also there have been numerous McCaskill signs in those areas with tons of bunnies in St. Louis county. May be a bad sign for Wagner and also proves my suburban  theory.

Missouri is a much more polarized state than back in 2002.

[henster]

Galloway for Governor?

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Apparently, there is a ballot measure on the ballot this year, that if passed, would almost guarantee that the winner of this years state auditor election gets a congressional map that they like for the next redistricting cycle.

[CookieDamage]

Lower-ballot less visible candidates do not pull top of the ballot candidates over the line LMAO

[jamestroll]

Galloway for Governor?

She is all we have.. so why not?

The auditor would pick the state demographer. Their role in redistricting is way over stated in Clean Missouri. I will vote yes on it but it technically does not qualify to be on the ballot.


I can not believe we will see clean missouri, 12 dollar minimum wage, and medical weed pass yet an incumbent Democratic Senator could well lose in a Democratic wave.

[MT Treasurer]

Galloway for Governor?

I hope she only goes for it if Parson is polling badly. It’s probably unwinnable unless he is. Either her or find some rich Fred Hubbell-type self funded dude who is moderate to conservative on social issues

She’d be a decent Senate candidate in 2022 if Trump is in his second term.

Well, Reynolds isn’t exactly unpopular and still in big trouble if the polls are to be trusted.

[Ebsy]

lol if Galloway runs for Governor... yikes.

She is not exactly super dynamic on the stump.

Consider how many Trump-Kander voters there were just two years ago.

[jamestroll]

I know people are laughing at my rabbit observation in St
 Louis County but I have evidence to back it up.

[jamestroll]

To be fair, neither are/were Parson, Nixon, Blunt and Holden

She is really all we would have and by 2020 people will know who she is.

[Ebsy]

Are you kidding me? Nixon is very dynamic on the stump. Parson also has his charms, and is extremely personable in person, as is Holden. Galloway? Not so much.

Take this from someone who has met all of them and seen all of them speak.

[Ebsy]

Still, Galloway can only deliver one speech, and she does so in a rather stilted manner. If she wins this year it will mostly be because the GOP accidentally nominated a total dud candidate and very little to do with her own candidacy or campaign.

Don't forget right to work getting overwhelmingly rejected!

It's almost as if Republicans vote based on identity politics, white resentment, etc. rather than Randian economic philosophy, union busting, or prohibition.

[SCNCmod]

What do new voter registration number in Missouri indicate? (do they favor Dems. Repubs, about even , etc)?
