Hawley's run for the AG office was the only election he's ever been in. Running for senate is a lot different from running as a state Attorney General and it's questionable if Hawley has the heart or the desire or the flat out ability to go through a major campaign. As the article points out he's not impressing people with his performance in his current job and he doesn't seem to care enough about the Senate to put in the work needed. McCaskill is not an opponent to be taken lightly. She will use every tool, fair or unfair, at her disposal to win reelection. If Hawley doesn't get his act together he's going to wind up as a footnote in McCaskill's senate career.
