    Analysis

    Chuck Todd\'s Race Ranking: 2 .Moving Talent up this high on the board was a tough call -- particularly moving him ahead of Burns. But here\'s where we came down: While Burns is personally in worse shape than Talent, the Democrats have a better candidate running in Missouri and, frankly, Missouri is a more competitive state than Montana. Talent\'s attempt to \"split the baby\" on the stem-cell issue is what put us over the top. .
