McCaskill Wins

The consensus seems to be that yesterday Missouri Democrats took a big step forward in retaining the governorship of that perenial swing state by defeating Gov. Holden's bid for a second term. Instead the their nominee will be State Auditor Claire McCaskill (the Democrats also nominated women for Lt. Governor and Secretary of State). McCaskill faces current Secretary of State Matt Blunt (son of US House Majority Whip Roy Blunt) in the general election in November. It's expected to be one of the tightest gubenatorial races of the fall.
