IN-WTHR/HPI: Young +5

[Xing]

A major difference is that Missouri is a very red state while WI and FL are is a swing state and WI is a light blue state who are each represented by 1 conservative and 1 liberal Senator.

FTFY. Either way, Senators aren't just impacting their own state, so the argument that they should "represent" the partisan lean of their state (especially in a body where WY has the same "representation" as CA) is flawed.

Either way, moderate Senators aren't really a thing these days. I can think of maybe 3 or 4 Senators that I would consider moderate, but certainly not more. You can't call people like Heidi Heitkamp and Jon Tester moderates but then bash Pat Toomey and Marco Rubio for being partisans, for example.

It's not just a case of someone being a moderate or not, though. Tester and Heitkamp are certainly more moderate and less partisan than Toomey and Rubio, even if they're not "true centrists."

Bayh is pretty bad, so cant say I'm unhappy seeing him lose.  Though considering how rare Indiana is polling, i dont think this is over yet.

[Phony Moderate]

Bayh is the Charlie Crist of this election. Useless twat.

Tester and Heitkamp are certainly more moderate and less partisan than Toomey and Rubio, even if they're not "true centrists."

That is very arguable.

Being more moderate than Rubio describes the majority of the Senate. Toomey is perceived as being less partisan because of his role in the Toomey-Manchin bill, but he's generally quite conservative. I'm not saying that Tester/Heitkamp don't usually vote with the Democrats, but they definitely split from their party a noticeable amount of the time.

But back on topic, if more polls confirm this, then Democrats clearly did make a mistake putting so much money in this race.

I don't know how bad this pollster is but someone mentioned that it's a Republican pollster who among others works for Young's campaign.
Is this true?
