Scott Sifton-D former state senator from Afton,MO located in St Louis County. Can he win statewide in the November General Election against a controversial/mediocre Republican nominee?

1. Why not Claire? (McCaskill)

5. She tweeted this morning that she was not running and was done with her days in public office.

I'll see if I can find the tweet.

Here: To all that are asking: thank you to the many who have said kind things. But I will never run for office again. Nope. Not gonna happen. Never. I am so happy I feel guilty sometimes. #RoyBluntRetiring— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) March 8, 2021

7. unfortunately she isn't in the least bit interested.

said so in a tweet posted somewhere around here on du, in a thread I think.

2. Is Claire interested?

She might know of some very capable Democrats who would be willing to turn a red seat blue.

4. just saw a tweet minutes ago, a resounding NO from her directly.

it's posted here on du in one of the threads. She says no thanks, but she's having the time of her life and she has no plans whatsoever, of ever coming back.

3. Personally, I have no earthly idea, but I'm waiting for someone who knows to speak up!

I know nothing about MO other than what I read and hear in the news.

It would be awesome for us if a Dem miraculously emerged as a front runner, beating down all of the right wing nut jobs and loons which seems to be cultivating there.

8. Blunt

Hopefully, Donnie gets involved in the primary, resulting in an extremist Republican nominee who may be easier to defeat.

9. Jason Kander and Chris Koster

were good candidates, it is so hard for Democrats in Missouri. I would love to see Nichole Galloway run but she had a difficult time in the governor's race.
