This one will be a pure tossup until the last vote is counted.
I bet no a single voter who voted for Carnahan is voting for Talent...it is amazing how me made no inroads among people who didnt vote for him. At least Bush got 4% more ofthe vote in 2004
I've managed to get two neighbors in my neighborhood to put up Talent signs. I noticed today that the gay guys' house has a McCaskill sign in front of it. I just thought that kind of noteworthy since the Dems are so anti-gay these days.
"Go, GOP! Knock on those doors, man those phones!"
Indeed, Republicans and conservatives in Missouri have one of the most important jobs in the entire nation this year.
Are there any Talent voters from 2002 who are voting for McCaskill?
The swing vote in Missouri is not large.
I wonder when the polls will close in St. Louis this time. I imagine the DNC has the request for an emergency extension already drafted.
just remember we have a carnahan running the secetary of states office and that unless the voter id act stays intact, the dead will rise again and vote democrat.
Good point.
I just hope they don't leave St. Louis open extra hours
Only short-sighted homosexuals are upset about the Democrats unwillingness to publicly advance their cause. The smarter ones know that the Democrats can't very well campaign on a pro-gay agenda seeing as how most of the hot races are in red states, and even red districts. And if the Dems take Congress, smart homosexuals know that even then the Dems can't openly advance their agenda. I'm sure that high-levels Dems have told homosexual activists what the intelligent among them already know; that the path to victory is the same as it always is for the Left on social issues, and that path is through the Courts.
Talent is a vote for conservative/restrained judges. McCaskill would vote against any such nominee. And that's all there is too it.
At any rate, I'm going out now to try to get my last 2 Talent signs in somebody's yard. We have to win this one.
This one is up and down. Talent was almost being written off a week or 2 ago. Then barely 72 hours ago Zogby had him up 4. It was the first time he led by more than a point or so. Now it has gone the other way. The roller coaster is making me dizzy. ;) As a fellow FR member noted though, polls showed Mrs Carnahan gaining even late in Oct of 2002 so we can only hope Talent rallies in the end. Since this state seems tough for Republicans lately it is surprising GWB was able to take it by a comfortable 53-46 only 2 years ago.
If Bush were running this year he would be down considerably from 2004. Talent has a much worse environment in which to run than Bush had two years ago.
I imagine there are suburban women in St. Louis and Kansas City suburbs who may vote against Talent this time because of stem cell research. The stem cell ammendment is going to win by 20% and Jim is on opposite side of that issue.
Talent will win.
I agree with sentiments everyone in nearby area should work hard pounding the pavement for him. But he's going to win this.
"I'm sure that high-levels Dems have told homosexual activists what the intelligent among them already know; that the path to victory is the same as it always is for the Left on social issues, and that path is through the Courts."
Exactly. Hillary may not support gay marriage, but we all know that she would appoint Supreme Court justices that will be for gay marriage. Then she will feign shock and declare "I'm just following the Court's orders."
There appears to be a rural backlash against Blunt for Medicare cuts. Talent could fall victim to that.
Now THIS is a campaign worth helping. Travel arrangements and motel and know where the phone bank is for the final 72 hrs.
