1. She's a Goner

I think the writing on the wall has been there for her a while now.

[MatthewStLouis]

2. Rural Missourians love to vote against their own interests.

The Missouri GOPers are all running hard against evil "job killing" Romneycare, er I mean, Obamacare.

Brunner is a t*rd, Steelman is a wacko, and Akin is a profiteer. And the good ol' boys will lap up their lies and ask for another serving.

[MjolnirTime]

3. Sadly, she doesn't really deserve reelection.

[Gman]

10. So MO and the country deserve a Republican

Wonderful thought there

[Robbins]

4. MO

Democrats should pull all money and resources out of Missouri to focus on other states.Obama or Biden should never again step foot
In Missouri.Apart from solid democratic congressional districts In St Louis and Kansas city the state Is turning Into solid Republican
state.

These are all tea party extremists.I could list all the things republicans do that hurt people.Yet some would rather vote for them
anyway.

5. is there a democrat in the race or just republicans? nt

[RC]

6. Considering all the fact free ads against her, And the fact she is a Blue Dog, no wonder she is

losing.

Missouri is a lost cause. Between the Tea-Baggers, wing nuntz and assorted other crazies. And the political ads are Unreal! Reality free, fact free, anti-obamacare, anti tax cuts 'cause taxes kills jobs. Government spends too much for the economy to recover. Cut government spending. And on and on and on, infinitum.

7. She's been sunk for months

We may as well write that seat off.

[n2doc]

8. As that saying goes...

Harry S. Truman: "I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."

[LiberalFighter]

9. What would be great

is if Obama can save her ass and she would be forever in debt to him.

[pstokely]

12. Obama doesn't need to MO so the party establishment has written it off

nt

[Beacool]

11. Didn't she barely win the first time around?

Not surprising that she's probably going to lose. Great, another senate seat for the Republicans........

[pstokely]

13. The repuke primary is next week

a lot of people probably aren't even pay attention yet

[Beacool]

15. I meant when she first ran for the senate.

If I remember correctly she won by a very small margin.

[pstokely]

16. This seat has always been won a small margin in the recent past

nt

[DCBob]

14. Starting to look like MO is a lost cause.

sadly.

[Kteachums]

17. I love Senator Claire. She has been a real trooper on the Senate Floor!

This is sad. Senator Claire has stood for the Middle Class Families many times in debates on the Senate floor. During healthcare debating she was a vital force. I have watched her speak for us many times during the past four years. Somebody has to help in Missouri. I'd give anything to have her as our senator.
