Talent is 88th -- where's our candidate?

[scratchtasia]

According to a new poll by SurveyUSA, Jim Talent comes in at #88 in a list of all 100 senators ranked by their approval ratings.

Further, his "approval" is down 2 percent while "disapproval" is up 6 percent from last year.

This guy is beatable in 2006. We need someone to step up to the plate. It's time to build the groundwork. I know we've discussed names here before, but I'm just frustrated that no one has officially announced a run yet. The clock is ticking.

1. Have you talked to the State Democratic Party?

Usually they have a handle on the potential candidates. You are dead on, now is the time to begin campaigning...

3. The only problem, as I see it, is that the Missouri Sec of State,

the person responsible for counting and varifying and finalizing the votes in any state election, is a repuke. That means the repub candidate will win the election.

Call me a tin-foil looney, but I'm convinced that repuke Secs of State were installed in their offices to ensure that the elections go the "right" way.

4. Robin Carnahan (D) is the new SoS. n/t
