McCaskill Wins!

Claire McCaskill came back from being well down in early returns to take the Senate seat in Missouri, dumping Rush Limbaugh and incumbent R Jim Talent. The race was called with McCaskill taking 51% of the vote.

McCaskill is remarkable for her straight talk and easy manner, but she has a nose for what's important. She'll make a great Senator.

It was the only statewide election on the ballot. All incumbents won, leaving the ballance in the House representation: 5D - 4R.
