Missouri's U. S. Senate race between incumbent Jim Talent and State Auditor Claire McCaskill is the focus of a U. S. News and World Report campaign diary entry.
The importance of the Missouri race as far as national politics is concerned is best explained in this paragraph"
McCaskill fashions herself as a moderate, and a recent poll put her ahead of Talent by 6 points. That could mean a lot, especially since Missouri--a blend of urban and rural, North and South--is considered a bellwether of national trends. "Missouri is the testing ground for the Democratic strategy," says Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg Political Report. If the message catches fire here, there's a good chance Democrats will capture the Senate in November.
