    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Early Look at Missouri Senate Shows Close Race Raleigh, N.C. – Claire McCaskill was involved in incredibly close races for Governor in 2004 and Senator in 2006 from Missouri and it looks like she’s in for another one as she seeks reelection to the Senate in 2012. McCaskill leads Sarah Steelman by 1 point in a hypothetical match up and trails Jim Talent and Peter Kinder each by 2 points in them, all results well within the poll’s margin of error. Voters in Missouri are pretty evenly divided in their feelings about McCaskill’s job performance during her first term. 43% approve of the job she’s doing, while 44% disapprove. There’s near complete polarization along party lines in her reviews- 77% of Democrats give her good marks, while 77% of Republicans think she’s doing a poor job. Independents lean slightly in her favor by a 43/40 margin. Voters have mixed reactions to the potential GOP challengers tested in the poll as well. For Steelman and Kinder the main response is ambivalence. 59% of voters don’t know enough about Steelman to have formed an opinion and 54% say the same about Kinder. Those who do have feelings about them are slightly positive. Kinder’s favorability is 23/22 and Steelman’s is 22/19. Perhaps more surprising is how many voters don’t have an opinion about Talent even after he ran statewide 3 times in 4 election cycles at one point in the last decade.

It is our belief, based upon the information set out below, that the Missouri Democrats have violated FECA and the Commission’s regulations with respect to three mail communications, attached hereto as Exhibits A, B and C. Specifically, it appears that the Missouri Democrats have either (1) violated 1 1 C.F.R. 6 1 10.1 l(b)’s disclaimer requirements; and/or (2) are improperly attempting to fhd these mailings under the “volunteer activity for party committees” exemption in 11 C.F.R. $3 100.87, 100.147. Because the Missouri Democrats’ violation comes at this late date, is wide-scale, and is on-going, we respecthlly ask the Commission to undertake an expedited review of this matter. Absent such expedited review, there is no redress against the effects of the Missouri Democrats’ illegal activity on our Party’s political interests. The mail communications at issue were paid for by the Missouri Democrats and constitute Federal Election Activity, as defined in 11 C.F.R. 0 100.24(b). Exs. A, B and C.

  • Senator Jim Talent
    Senator Jim Talent was appointed by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for a two-year term expiring December 31, 2017. Senator Jim Talent is a national security leader who specializes in issues related to the Department of Defense. He has been active in Missouri and national public policy for over 25 years. Senator Talent's public service began in 1984, when at the age of 28 he was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives where he served eight years, the last four as the Republican leader in the Missouri House. In 1992, he was elected to the first of four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives where he represented Missouri's Second Congressional District. During his eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Talent co-authored the historic welfare reform bill, championed national security issues on the House Armed Services Committee, and enacted legislation to help revitalize distressed neighborhoods, both urban and rural. He was the Chairman of the House Small Business Committee from 1997-2001, where he worked on regulatory reform issues and on legislation to lower health care costs for small business people and their employees. Under Senator Talent’s leadership, the Small Business Committee became one of the most prolific and bi-partisan in the House of Representatives, passing numerous bills without a single dissenting vote. In 2002, Missourians elected Talent to serve in the United States Senate where he worked with Republicans and Democrats to enact critical legislation for Missouri. He served on the Senate Armed Services, Energy and Natural Resources, and Agriculture Committees.
