Late-Breaking Voters Went To McCaskill

Did President Bush's visit to Missouri hurt Senator Talent in the final days of the campaign?

Chuck Todd of The Hotline, which now partners with MSNBC, says Bush may have been the deciding factor that killed Republican momentum in the final days.

According to Todd:

"One Republican consultant is convinced that Bush's last-minute visit to Missouri on behalf of ousted GOP Sen. Jim Talent did the incumbent in. According to the network exit polls, Democrat Claire McCaskill crushed Talent among those late-breaking voters who decided in the final three days (a full 11 percent of the electorate)."
