Call it a partisan response but I've always thought Mckaskill would win this race. First midterm for a sitting presidents party never goes well. Couple that with the debacle the current governor finds himself in and I think that many GOP voters stay home on election day. I also think the Democratic voters will be mobilized, something that didn't hap[pen in 2016 to produce that 20 or so loss. I'll concede that it's 6 months until election day and a lot can happen but put me down for a 3-4 point Mckaskill win.
Funny how some long term senators survive(assuming Claire pulls it out of course). There's no way Ohio's Sherrod Brown survives in 2010 or 2014. He might have not had much chance in 2016 for that matter but he managed to be up for reelection in the 2 years this decade he had the best chance. Seems like Max Baucus found the right time to retire before 2014. there have been others and one that comes to mind is poor Mary Landrieu until her luck ran out. Just thought it was interesting how this works...
