changed hands no less than four times, in the last 18 years, this is the same senate seat that harry truemance had and attorney general, john ash i don't have the had in the 1990s. so there is a lot of history there. todd achen, congressman who spent the least amount of money, better known and better funded candidates and now faces democrat, sarah mchaskel from michigan. and admittedly, republicans have not won a senate seat in that state, since 1972. the candidate was nora romney, mitt romney's mom. >>> staying in missouri it is interesting you had mr. achen who won the primary, sarah palin on one side, all the money on the other side but for democrats they were happy to see mr. achen to the point they went in and tried to help him win. goes back to the days of the delaware senate race, for nevada senate race where they were trying to nominate a tea party that is a state that is really tough for democrats to win and for the senator to have a chance they needed a nominee like achen to win that primary also, last night in kansas, a little known reported fact was that there was a fight within
