One of the most endangered Democrats in the Senate is Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill. John Brunner was the favorite in the GOP Primary and thought of as the strongest candidate in the General. However, it was the hard right flame thrower Congressman Todd Akin that emerged victorious in the Primary. This still could be a tough race for the Dems to hold on to, but Akin as the Republican nominee, makes it easier.

Romney will win Missouri by a solid margin. Fat McCaskill is done.

I have little doubt that the GOP will pick up this Senate seat and Romney will win the state.

I think it's great that people are rejecting the candidate that the establishment decides is the best.

Moderates are leaving the Republican party and it is becoming more and more extreme. The same thing is going on with Dems. The primary winners are chosen by the ideological puritans who remain behind. The choices in the general elections from the local to the national level are now polarized and distant from the will of the moderate majority in many states.

My dog could beat McCaskill, after her documented antics and ignorance.


Looks like another Ted Cruz fluke, eh?
The tide is turning.

The US Constitution has become extreme, in the land where truth is treason.

2010 Mid Term, awoke a Tiger.... The Silent Majority, was no longer silent.

"The TEA Party is dead" Really?

The tea party is neither silent nor a majority. They are a group of old white racists trying to grab whatever they can for themselves.

Robert Byrd.... Democrat Grand Dragon of the KKK

Martin Luther King.... Republican, equal treatment, not special treatment, of all Americans.

The Tea Party is taking back what was once theirs, from the Progressive cancer, killing and controlling the free man in the name of social engineering.
