KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A survey says Democrat Claire McCaskill got a big boost from single women who went to the polls in Missouri last week.
A 12-state survey found that 61% of the 400,000 single women who voted in the Missouri Senate race picked McCaskill over Republican incumbent Jim Talent. That accounts for a 100,000 vote edge for McCaskill in a race she won by fewer than 50,000.
About 19% of those who voted in Missouri last week were single women. 45% of married women and 41% of married men voted for McCaskill. The poll also found that 57% of unmarried men voted for McCaskill.
The survey was done by the voter-education project Women's Voices, Women Vote. The Missouri numbers were based on exit polls conducted of 2,400.

If my husband and I were Missouri residents, Ms. McCaskill would've gotten both of our votes. Heaven knows we wish we had someone like her looking out for the interests of Arkansas residents. Arkansas' state motto used to be "The Land of Opportunity." However, even with a new lineup here, I have little doubt that Fulton County, in particular, will continue to remain the state's abused and oppressed step-child.
