Campaign Updates

Both from Kos, but he pays for the access to the data, I just give him credit where credit is due (that's legal, isn't it?)

In Missouri, Talent and McCaskill are tied 42%-42%, down from a 43%-40% lead two months ago. This one will be a total squeaker in November, so I'm not at all surprised by these results. However, McCaskill's had questions from the Senate Ethics Committee of late, so that may slow her down, especially if she tries to play the "Culture of Corruption" card (because we saw how well that worked in CA50!). Kos's predictions about stem cells being a big deal out there in the Show-Me State also have the ring of truth about them, we'll see how they bear out.

In Montana, Democratic insurgent and State Senate president Jon Tester is leading Republican incumbent Conrad Burns 50%-43%. This is one state where the culture of corruption lines seem to be working, so we'll see how things go between now and election day.
