I was so tired last night, but like the 2000 presidential race, I couldn't bring myself to log off the internet or turn off the television until I saw who had won the Missouri Senate race. You've got to hand it to Claire McCaskill. She slugged it out until the wee hours of the morning against a political party and an opposing candidate who spent more money than she did. What made the win even more satisfying, Jim Talent was an incumbent, and...to his own detriment, reminded too many people of the President. Sen. Talent should have taken a clue and a pass card when G-Dub wanted to come a stumpin' for him. Other candidates threw on their asbestos suits, and dove out of site...and some of them lived to fight another day.
Overall, McCaskill had the best platform to win. Why did she win? The answer is simple. She's wasn't Jim Talent, or George Bush. One more thing to those who harp all the time about term limits. As last night proved, we already have them. They're called elections. When enough of the people get sick and tired of the same old thing, they WILL make a difference.
