Conservative Triple-Play

A look at Ken Blackwell, Rick Santorum and Jim Talent, and why each still has a chance.

(Page 2 of 2)

Talent also had a large hand in designing the wildly successful welfare reform law of 1996.

For months now, Jim Talent has been running about even in the polls with popular challenger Claire McCaskill. But he thoroughly outclassed her in a recent debate, and he is accustomed to the rigors of races that go down to the wire. It is near-universal wisdom among national conservatives that his re-election campaign is the linchpin for conservative legislative hopes in the next Congress.

Every pundit in the land knows that Talent can win his race. Every knowledgeable conservative will try to see that he does.
