Big Republican Senate race tonight. Let's watch the results and discuss here!

Notice McCaskill the Demonrat isn't even hitting 39%...she will be facing an energized Republican party in 91 days who will fire her Obamugabe worshipping arse. :)

Looks good!

Is this an “open” primary? We don’t have them here so I don’t know much about them.

[newzjunkey]

Could the Republican be forced into a runoff, like TX, or is this a "first past the pole" plurality win is the nominee type election?

(Go Steelman!)

Sarah Bump!

I don't live in Missouri but this primary interests me because we have two Tea Party allies working for different candidates in this race.

Will the endorsement of Gov. Sarah Palin for Sarah Steelman eclipse the Get Out The Vote effort of FreedomWorks for John Brunner? FreedomWorks did a great job of GOTV for Ted Cruz in Texas. This race should be a good test of the strength of the "Palin Effect".

May the best conservative candidate for the U.S. Senate win!

I really have no dog in this race. Of the three candidates who may win, my first choice is Sarah Steelman, as I think that she would rally the rural vote, but I would have no problem with John Brunner or Todd Akin being a U.S. Senator. All three are second-tier candidates, but all three would be at least a 50/50 bet to unseat the unpopular McCaskill. None are favorites of the establishment types, most of whom are sitting this primary out.

How many of those votes are illegal? Or does anyone care anymore?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Is it an open primary and if so, what are the thresholds? 50% to avoid runoff, etc.? thanks

Too many Missourians recall Steelman is a homewrecker

[Charles Henrickson]

I said earlier today that this would be a close race, possibly with all three ending up in the 25-35% range. I voted for Todd Akin, so that’s who I’m pulling for. But any of the three can beat ObamaClaire McCaskill in November.
