Something pretty cool happened while some of us were distracted by historic electrical power outages: Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill of Missouri overcame a hefty deficit to win the fundraising support poll held by Barbara Boxer's PAC for a Change. Thanks to a last-minute push by McCaskill supporters, McCaskill slipped past Bob Casey of Pennsylvania by a single percentage point. This is heartening and timely; while McCaskill remains in a statistical dead heat with her Republican opponent, incumbent Jim Talent, she trails in fundraising by a more than two-to-one margin. The support from PAC for a Change is welcome news indeed for the McCaskill camp. Thanks to everyone who voted for McCaskill in the poll.
