Remember that on the same day McCaskill lost, MO voters passed a ballot measure raising the minimum wage. The vote margin on that measure was 62-38 (+24%). This goes to show that even in red states, some progressive ideas have a significant degree of popularity. McCaskill made some of the same mistakes that Donnelly did in Indiana by alienating the Democratic base - I believe that if she had tied herself more closely to the minimum wage increase ballot measure, she could have held on to her seat or at least made it a nail-biter for her opponent.
