Missourian Watchdog - Fox News' Larry Sabato Weighs in on the House, Bob Onder Says He Will Kill Death Tax

As pointed out in an e-mail from the Bob Onder Campaign, political analyst Larry Sabato of the University of Virgina has a Web site called Crystal Ball that predicts the outcomes of upcoming presidential and congressional national races.

For the Missouri Ninth Congressional District, the site says the area "leans Republican."

It points to state representatives Bob Onder, Republican, and Judy Baker, Democrat, as the front runners in terms of raising money, with Onder at more than $100,000 more than Baker's $216,000.

The site points to Onder as a standout among the Republicans, but says none the Democrats have distinguished themselves the same way. It highlights abortion rights as the "salient issue" in the race.

The site also addresses the Sixth Congressional District, where one Democrat is running against the incumbent Republican.

Although from a different e-mail, Onder's campaign also issued a media release titled, "Dr. Bob Onder Pledges to Fight Democrat Plans to Impose Largest Tax Hike on American Public Since World War II."

"With rising gas prices and struggling national housing markets, tax increases would devastate family budgets and push us into recession," he said in the release.
