Blank Slate, I wrote that at 4:30 AM. Besides, I'm a tenth grader, and I like to think that my grammatical syntax is pretty good...considering.
My point was that McCaskill's approval ratings may be high, but she is doing exceptionally well against a decently popular incumbent in a Republican-leaning state. That is not a typical scenario at all. I thought that was pretty clear from the beginning of the post (Talent being popular), but - again - it was 4:30 AM. Coherency rarely survives beyond a quarter past one.
I'm sorry I so epitomise the degredation of the English language. By the way - I'd watch the comma splices when you are correcting someone else's grammar.
