Agree. Blunt was just the “next guy in line”.
To be fair, Blunt will have the party unified behind him, and he’ll have no problem with money, and he “checks all the boxes” in terms of conservative issues....he’s just part of the ‘old boys club’ in Missouri politics.
Almost makes you wonder if the Missouri GOP has already written off the Senate seat. Carnahan is going to be hard to beat; she took 62% in a statewide race last year. The GOP needs an A-list candidate and I doubt that Blount is it.
