Missouri's Record Is Amazing

[opebo]

Yes Missouri has long been considered the utimate bellweather, and I think it will hold true this time.  Though Mo has been trending slightly more Republican over the last 15-20 years, which makes a Bush victory in MO coupled with a national loss a *lot* more likely than a Dem. victory there as part of a national loss.

MO-- I still think Bond wins his senate seat here and GOP will pick up Gov mansion with Blunt, which will help Bush.

Still favors GOP.

Oh Bond is in, no doubts.  Blunt, probably also, but I'm most sure about Bond. BTW who are they running against him?

I've taken a look at a few prediction sites and Bond is one of those cases where they are sure but not quite sure (like Barbara Boxer on the other side of the aisle, and I think for similar reasons).

Well, I think they're just playing it safe.  I'm perfectly willing to predict a Boxer victory in CA.  But I guess I see the point that neither is say a Bennet, Shumer, Crapo, or Dodd - re-eletion is not certain, just highly likely.
