If you’re a Democrat, then the latest poll from Mason-Dixon should not be combined with alcohol and/or used in conjunction with heavy machinery: she’s not just losing. John Brunner beats her 52/41; Sarah Steelman, 49/42; and Todd Akin 49/44. And that’s registered voters. These are the kinds of numbers that you’d expect to see from a challenger; an incumbent that far underwater needs an exit strategy, quick. Guess the Democrats guessed wrong on how quickly McCaskill was going to fade.
Mind you, the person who should really be worried right now is Missouri governor Jay Nixon. The Democrats have written off the state in the Presidential election; Claire McCaskill is starting to swirl the drain; and the DCCC seems to have decided not to really push at the three first-term Republican incumbents this cycle. Nixon’s looking very, very alone right now. Such a shame…

PS: Primary’s August 7th. McCaskill is, by the way, running unopposed in the primary. …Oops?
What a shame.
Nixon might survive in Missouri. From what I’ve seen here, he’s been acting very, very conservative lately.
This is great! Now let’s limit our losses and hope we can get the Senate. We’ve lost Maine and most likely, will lose Massachussetts to the wacky lady from Harvard Law, but let’s get 6 more (including Missouri) and hopefully we can get the Senate!!!
Democrat internet types are howling about her at every opportunity. It’s vicious.
