Yes, they're still happy about winning the World Series. But it looks like St. Louis residents sure energized on Election Day. Pub Def, a nonpartisan St. Louis political blog, reports that voter turnout could surpass 58 or 60 percent in the city. That seems to comport with what St. Louis Democratic Party Chairman Brian Wahbi is seeing, too.

"Turnout is pretty robust in the city," he says. "I don't have any Republicans in my city." If the turnout holds, it'll be a boon to Democrat Claire McCaskill, who is in perhaps the closest Senate race in the country against Sen. Jim Talent. Getting out the base in the final hours is the cardinal rule, of course. Here, too, there are good signs for the Democrats. Says Claude Brown, vice president of the St. Louis NAACP: "I have never seen it like this before. I haven't seen it like this since the Kennedy days." An OnPoint poll conducted last night has McCaskill up by three percentage points over Talent, Political Wire notes.
