Final election entry and prediction

well this is it...after many months on the campaign trail, the elections of the Missouri Senate race end today. I would like to offer my opinion on the campaigns of both Republican Roy Blunt and Democrat Robin Carnahan, then I will give my two cents into who will win this whole thing.

First off, I personally had a difficult time actually finding news about this election. The one big reason I found out is that the election is not really as important as the other races going on today. There are many predictions from political experts that say the republicans will gain quite a few seats and may win the power to block any filibuster that before they could not do. That being said, my candidates both I believe had to really prove themselves in order to be noticed. Robin Carnahan had more of the hometown/just plain folks approach and she focused a lot more on the real issues. Roy Blunt has the advantage of being the incumbent and is more known in the senate floor, but I believe his campaign has relied more on scare tactics and being a little shifty.

so I guess now its time to give my prediction, I think Robin Carnahan will win her election because she uses more facts and reasons for why she will change Missouri, she is more familiar with how Missouri works, her family is very well know politically in MI.

So that's it, now all we have to do is wait and see what really happens. Personally, I'm glad there will be no more political ads on TV anymore.
