Uhh, just checked Real Clear Politics...Talent is still up by 3. You must have read it backwards.
Anyhow, on some level you are right, and I misread the sentence somehow, I thought it said "Well ahead" as opposed to "Well against". But It's always been a tough state.
BTW, Talent didn't win for Governor, he lost for Governor in 2000 and won for Senator in 2002.
Matter of fact, now that I think about it, this race features the last two people to lose for Governor.
Good news. When I checked it yesterday the Mason Dixon poll that had McCaskill up three was the most recent poll. Apparently a lot of people got turned off by MJF interjecting himself into Senatorial race.

Yeah I know. I voted for him both times. My point was that he had run statewide two times in four years so its not like he's a political unknown to Missourians. He should be doing better as an incumbant, especially one who had run two recent statewide campaigns.
