Its gonna' come down to money.  Talent will outspend McCaskill somewhere in the range of 2 to 1 or posibly even 3 to 1.  I hope Im wrong, but I think a lot of Republicans will be saved by the dollar in 2006.

Yeah, that makes sense, considering that pro-Kerry and anti-Bush groups massively outspent their counter parts in 2004.

I guess you havent been paying attention to Talents fudraising numbers thus far.  They happend to be outstanding.

I didnt know Bush was up for re-election in 2006?

You are missing the point that McCaskill is not popular enough to beat an incumbent Senator.

Neither was Wellstone.  Now, Im not saying McCaskill is the next Paul Wellstone or anything, but you cant assume the challenger in every race has to be wildly popular in order to knock off the incumbent.  Wellstone probably had a name ID of 2% when entered the race and by the end he was the winner.  Who would have thought?
