Does your model project turnout by county?

Thanks for the update.

So it looks like your model was decisively off from the final 2010 totals. Do you know what the error stemmed from? Any plans to update the model? Or provide the information by county?

Are you coming back??

Skelton voted for Nancy Pelosi. He votes with the Democrats 94 per cent of the time. He voted for the latest stimulus or teacher bailout. He voted for cap and trade.

Don't tell me he has this race wrapped. You underestimate the anger in his district.

Rep. Blunt did vote for the TARP bailout, twice.

You also mentioned 9 other candidates, "many of which have long records."

Only two candidates in the race have legislative records: Roy Blunt and Chuck Purgason.

Sen. Purgason sponsored the largest spending cut in Missouri's history as well as holding back more than 80 bills this session that would add to the budget. He's the Senate sponsor of the Missouri Jobs and Prosperity Act, to replace Missouri's income tax with a sales tax.

I doubt there's any chance Blunt will not emerge as the primary winner even though he's arguably one of the strongest establishment candidates anywhere in the country this year.

The chart you provided is very helpful. I hadn't realized such a large amount of Susan Montee's cash was from loans.

This raises questions about how serious she's been in raising money for the current election. It's more than clear Schweich or Icet could both present serious challenges to her this Fall. I expect to see her contributions increase over the next quarter though. If not I would think my fellow Democrats would start be concerned about losing this race.

So while Schweich is picking up steam, I think it's too early to clearly say whether Susan could be in trouble. Maybe I will re-evaluate that comment on July 15 when the next campaign contribution reports are released.

This is interesting. Good work.

To go one step further than your analysis, how does this compare to previous election cycles? Does the ethics commission have any analysis of recent trends in campaign spending?

2010-04-16T20:14:17.091-05:00

I'm guessing Montee's burn rate is only so good because of her loan, right? If you remove the loan I would guess Tom Schweich would have the most favorable burn rate.

2010-04-16T08:04:57.226-05:00

Impressive yes. Meaningful, not really. Montee is an incumbent with name recognition and reasonablly good performance during her first term. I think she'll be fine in re-election no matter what Republicans do.

2010-04-15T22:46:32.952-05:00

I'm truly impressed by Tom's ability to bring in the dough. I think it's clear that Allen Icet is going to have some problems winning the nomination. Tom may even be headed toward a serious challenge for Susie Montee.

Looks like we could have an exciting race other than the Senate election in Missouri after all this year!

Finally, some good economic news!

2010-04-10T10:23:29.609-05:00

This is a complete sign of desperation for Icet. He just can't compete with the endorsements Schweich is picking up, like from Mitt Romney and John Danforth. When Icet gets Sarah Palin's endorsement I'd consider him again as a likely nominee. Joe the Plumber just doesn't quite stack up.
