Didn't they elect a corpse to the Senate a few years ago?
LOL, and Talent has control over the price of gas how?? You mean to tell me this idiot will vote for a Democrat who comes from the party that is largely responsible for gas prices being so high with the Clinton era cleaning burning fuel mandates that created 30 different fuel blends, Democrats who regulated refinery building out of existence decades ago and Democrats who constantly resist drilling in ANWR and increasing domestic production elsewhere??? Sure idiot, vote for Bill Clinton's candidate, McCaskill, the same Bill Clinton who vetoed ANWR drilling in 1996 which if he had not the price of gas would be 50 cents a gallon cheaper now.
God, if this is the kind of idiocy out there in the country right now, I give up. Voting based on the price of gas, and for the party which would weaken us in the war on terror. Brilliant. People like this dummy shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

IMHO, the real reason she's competitive is that she's running as a
"tougher-than-Talent" anti-illegal immigration Democrat.
Purely Clintonian. And might sucker enough of the mushy-middle to win.
Cool. In the last two weeks the price of gas here outside of KC has gone fron 2.89 two weeks ago to 2.64 today
I think the rats are getting very nervous...they are going to be useing the MSM and anything else they can get their hands on to try and swing the voters their way....we just have to read between the lines....
Don't believe everything you read.....
The major problem with punishing Republicans in this election, is that there is no viable alternative. Dem'crats are even MORE venal when they get into office, and whatever they are representing, it is certainly not the interests of the majority of Americans, whether it be the best interests, or blatant self-interests, of their constituents.
For the Dem'crat officeholders themselves, they make the very best they can of their opportunities to maximize personal gain and perpetuating themselves in office. That means pandering to the big-money interests even more shamelessly than some of the more liberal Republicans, at the expense of the people who elected them in the first place.
An elected official who is on the take has totally abandoned whatever claim he (or she) may have had for EVER being considered a conservative. So by definition, the acceptance of bribes in exchange for political favor becomes the default liberal position.
It is pretty much up to liberals to prove this is not so. "Principled" and "liberal" just do not come in the same breath. And can no longer be applied to a single individual, certainly not within the Dem'crat party.
History—In the 2004 state elections in California we had four state wide propositions that had a 67% favorable rating when they first came out. Then the democrats started the lies in their advertising. The lies were incredible that I thought, “No will ever believe these lies” but they did and all four propositions lost by about 60 %. The democrats learned a lot from that election and we will face the same thing from now on forward
I'm not sure just what the purpose of the article is but I know that the price of gas IS NOT what I'm basing my vote FOR Talent on. I'm basing it on McCaskill running lockstep with the morons in her party. If given the chance, since she's decided she needs to spend more time in my part of the state, I'll tell her exactly that!
This one is going down to the wire. I hope that Talent will pull it out.
McCaskill is not going to win. She does not have a good family-values reputation here in Missouri. She is for every extreme liberal issue - gay marriage, partial-birth abortion, etc.
I'm in Cape Girardeau this week, and I have seen many Talent bumper stickers. Judging from the number of stickers one would conclude that Talent is doing very well indeed. Now, I understand that this is Limbaugh country, but, nevertheless I have seen only two McRoadkill stickers paraded around by a couple of mutant moonbats. I think Talent will win this area handily.

TV ads are bought now, and money helps get the message out when things are close.
I think that one big problem with the Talent campaign is the fact that all his advertising strongly emphasizes his record of bipartisanship and working with Democrats. Bush isn't mentioned nor is Iraq or any of the president's policies. I'm not sure that running away from the president is going to work.
So why would they elect CMcC who has lost touch even before she leaves.
