It is painfully apparent that the Talent campaign is in deep trouble. For those who don't know, Jim Talent is the junior senator from Missouri. When Mel Carnahan posthumously defeated John Ashcroft in 2000, his widow Jeanne filled his seat for two years, and then a special election was held to determine who would finish the six-year term. Mrs. Carnahan lost to Mr. Talent in November of 2002.

According to the latest poll results from Rasmussen, conducted November 9th, Claire McCaskill leads the former K Street lobbyist, Jim Talent, by a margin of 47-45. Among independent voters, Claire leads by 7 points. Talents fifteen minutes are just about up.
