McCaskill Touted As Possible Senate Candidate

A newspaper that’s a favorite for Capitol Hill insiders in Washington reports a poll says Missouri auditor Claire McCaskill could give Senator Talent a big run for his money in two years. Roll Call says the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has commissioned a poll that shows Talent is vulnerable, especially on the issue of stem cell research. Roll Call says the survey tested 620 likely voters and finds McCaskill and Talent each got 43 percent. A spokesman for McCaskill says she takes the findings seriously and will make a decision soon. McCaskill has previously said she planned to run for another term as Auditor.
