"It's all about turnout, turnout, turnout. Who is the most motivated."
"Yes, but only in very close elections. If Talent is trailing McCaskill by 42-48%, then no amount of turnout will prevent him from going down. However, if it's something like 47-47%, then turnout will certainly help (even if the undecideds break for the challenger)."
Anti-G I'm assuming it will be a photo-finish race at the end. It seems to me that in recent years many of the Missou US Senate races have been real cliffhangers. I'm also thinking that McCaskill challenged a sitting RAT governor, which should mean that there is still some lingering hard feelings for her among the RAT rank and file. That along with W surging in the public opinion polls, and flying in to help the talented Talent should be enough to pull him over the finish line. We very much need to keep this seat if we're going to appoint more Conservatives to the SCOTUS.
I am shocked and saddened to see that somebody's trying to steal my freepname! :)
