Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill is borrowing a page from her GOP colleague’s playbook.
The Democrat leased the same RV used by Sen. Roy Blunt during his successful 2010 campaign. She has made a few changes, painting over Blunt’s job growth slogan in light of poor economic performance under President Barack Obama.
McCaskill joked that perhaps she can win by the same margin as Blunt, who scored a nearly 14 percentage point advantage over Democratic candidate Robin Carnahan. …
When Blunt used the RV, it was emblazoned with the slogan: "Jobs for Missouri's future."
McCaskill has covered the RV with the slogan: "A senator on our side."
McCaskill will face a tough race against her Republican rival, who will be decided in Missouri’s August primary. She is polling nearly evenly with all of her potential challengers: U.S. Representative Todd Akin, former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman, and businessman John Brunner.
