Bush, have campaigned in Missouri for [Jim Talent]. In an election that will hinge on turnout, Obama's visit was designed to help McCaskill rally her most crucial constituency to the polls, urban voters, especially African-Americans, just as Talent was revving up conservative rural voters in Southeast Missouri.
