I was polled last night. Sounded like a Talent poll. Asking how he matched up against Nixon, McCaskill, (Robin) Carnahan, and Maxwell. Also asked about Blunt and Bush and selected issues - stem cells, health care.
Would you please call us at our campaign office so we can get everything you remember from the poll. 314-918-VOTE Remember everybody, if you are polled, take notes!! You can sometimes get big signals about what the Republicans are up to by knowing what is asked on a poll. Feel free to contact the Mo Dem Party with all info on polls. Thank you on behalf of all Dems who they were asking questions about! Thank you so much for your interest and support. Claire

Last go-around, St. Louis had larger turnout with the big prize of the White House. In a mid-term election, will out-state matter more? Still, no Dem, even Jay or Joe would likely carry any rural county, but it's all about making a dent into Talent's margins (as well as greatly carrying your own base) in order to win.
