1. so, you based your analysis on the money?

the polls have McCaskill up slightly in MO.

Not that we should accept that as a given, especially as St. Louis City has decided to go with Diebold...not sure when their first Diebold election is, but...if St. Louis is Diebolded for Talent, McCaskill can't win the state.

2. worst case poll - rasmussen

No, I wasn't basing anything on money. It is not my analysis, just one I found on the internet.

Here's the 'worst case' poll from rasmussen - looks like McCaskell's got a fighting chance ! That is great !

Election 2006

Tennessee Senate

Ed Bryant (R) 45%
Harold Ford (D) 36%

Election 2006

Missouri Senate

Jim Talent (R) 46%
Claire McCaskill (D) 41%
Other 4%
Not Sure 7%

4. I hadn't seen this Rasmussen poll...

The polls I'd seen had McCaskill up by a point or 2.

Not that it surprises me from Rasmussen.

I kind of doubt I invented the term (I'm not that creative :P )

But, it seems like a good way to express the point.
