The 2006 Senate race with the proper colors (Blue=Republican; Red=Communist/Dem).

Former Sen. Jim Talent, R-Missouri, is joining Scott Walker's nascent presidential campaign as a leading adviser on foreign policy and defense, sources familiar with the move and Talent told CNN....
It's a big get for the Wisconsin governor as he draws up a campaign plan and team: In the coming election cycle, foreign policy figures are expected to loom especially large given the increased frequency of threats brought by ISIS and other terrorist groups. Talent was a foreign policy adviser to both of Mitt Romney's presidential bids, and nearly every major potential GOP hopeful this cycle has courted him.
Talent currently is an American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow and the Director of the National Security 2020 Project at the Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies.

Guess we agree to disagree Eric. Map on Wiki shows all red for SW Missouri for 2006 Senatorial election. Democrat strength in Missouri continues to be in KC/StL. Of course, that is where the votes are. Of rural folks is jest outnumbered. LOL!
Apologies if I offended.
The “Evangelicals stayed home” story associated with Jim Talent’s loss has been repeatedly promogated by a local political science professor on local radio. He is on KRMS every week.
I thought his evaluation of the vote, or lack of it, in SW Missouri was accurate.
I seek only the true story of how Jim Talent lost, and was pointed in the direction of evangelicals pulling away based on Talent’s support for stem cell research.
