Will Missouri voters be reclaiming Claire’s Senate seat in 2012?

A Democrat polling firm confirmed yesterday what everybody in Missouri already knows: Claire is extremely vulnerable next year, and in unpolitically correct language, she is literally a dead woman walking when it comes to her senate career!
