Senator Claire McCaskill spent Election Day Eve traveling across the state and thanking her supporters.

Her first stop was at her Columbia office during her last statewide swing before Election Day.

McCaskill poured cups of coffee and handed out bagels to her Columbia volunteers to show her appreciation for their support.  McCaskill supporters made nearly 6 million phone calls and knocked on more than one million doors during this year’s campaign.  McCaskill thanked supporters from Columbia, Springfield, Kansas City and St. Louis and reminded volunteers to keep up their record-setting “Get Out The Vote” efforts before the polls open.

McCaskill said, “This is the exciting part of the campaign.  This is the most gut wrenching part of the campaign because this is it.  I’m thrilled so many people realize how important it is.”

McCaskill said she continues to consider herself an underdog in her race against Republican challenger Todd Akin.  Akin thanked his volunteers in the St. Louis area on Election Day Eve.

McCaskill said, “I will always feel like an underdog in any race that I run.  I only know how to run on the assumption that I am behind because in many of the race that I’ve run, that’s exactly where I’ve been.”

Both McCaskill and Akin said they need to get every single supporter out to the polls.

Some political experts said this race will be won or lost by the amount of turnout from each candidate’s base and not undecided voters.

Libertarian candidate Jonathan Dine is also running for Missouri Senator.
