RISING STAR St. Louis, Mo. 11/05/2006: On the eve of a Congressional election that would determine which party controls the U.S. Senate, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama rallied support for Claire McCaskill, the Democrat attempting to unseat Sen. Jim Talent, R-Mo., at a campaign event in Forest Park. Obama, a rising star in the Democratic party who recently announced he may run for president in 2008, was making his third visit to Missouri to stump for McCaskill, whose contest with Talent has been one of the most clostely-monitored Senate races in the country.
