Lefties: McCaskill will put us over the top

Here's what the Lefties are thinking... Senate is a win because of Claire.

Democratic Underground - Missouri will put us over the top in the Senate

I've been doing some canvassing for Claire McCaskill, and the news media doesn't know the state well enough to tell you this - but she has a secret weapon. One so powerful, so wonderful, I believe she'll win this race by a couple of points or more.

Her secret weapon is named Matt Blunt, wonder boy governor of Missouri.

Yes, Bush has a very low approval rating in Missouri - 38%, according to SurveyUSA. Believe it or not, there's an even more unpopular character here, one who threw thousands of low-income people off of Medicaid...the kind of low-income people in Southern Missouri who Talent needs to carry the state.

Baby Blunt is currently polling at 36% in his home state - lower than Bush. During my travels I've heard far more venom directed at Blunt than I have at Bush - and therein lies the genius of the McCaskill campaign. She's run ads tying Blunt to Talent's neck like a millstone contrasting Baby Blunts Medicaid cuts with Talents votes in Washington to cut Medicaid funding. This is a big issue in Missouri - one that is disgusting even middle-class families, because of the gruesome stories that the media has run outlining the suffering of the people who've been thrown out of the Medicaid system thanks to Talent/Blunt.

Our governor is hurting Talent in Missouri much more than Bush is - yet not one analyst has cited Talents Blunt problem in this election. Oh - and guess who Blunt won against in 2004? Claire McCaskill. People in Missouri are ready to make this right. Mark my words - she'll win by a comfortable margin IF we keep working and IF we get people to the polls.
