They can’t seriously be worried about that particular race too....or can they?
Turnabout should be fair. Pick one of the Ruling Class Libs and use the same tactic back on them. Climb in the RAT sewer and fight them using their tactics.
Polls say Ike Skelton is in trouble. Read this from my article:
“The Ike Skelton-Vicky Hartzler campaign was targeted by Daily Kos because the seat is considered by the Oct. 5 Cook Political Report, the March 31 Swing State Project, the New York Times “Five Thirty Eight” political column, the Oct. 8 Rothenberg Political Report and the Oct. 7 Sabato Crystal Ball to merely “lean Democratic.” That’s not at all what would be expected in a race where the incumbent Democrat chairs the House Armed Services Committee and has spent more than three decades in the Congress.”
It is well within the realm of possibility that the voters of rural Missouri will throw out the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, despite bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to Fort Leonard Wood in just the last few years, and replace him with a Republican who is longtime member of what until this summer was called Harrisonville Mennonite Church. My article on Hartzler’s Mennonite ties is here:

Hartzler makes clear that despite her church affiliation she is not a pacifist, but in a normal election she would have no chance against a powerful Democrat, one of the most conservative members of his party in Congress, who has been endorsed by the NRA and Right to Life. Most of the traditional conservative organizations which usually endorse Republicans have endorsed Skelton, but one major exception is the Farm Bureau, which for the first time in 14 years rejected Skelton.

Let’s just say if Teddy Kennedy’s successor is a Republican in blue-state Massachussetts, Skelton has good reason to be concerned. His district is tremendously more conservative, and is one of the most conservative congressional districts held by a Democrat.
