Thanks for the ping, I hadn't seen it. Prov3456 posted the following earlier:
He believes fewer conservatives will vote in the primary, giving the amendment greater chance of failing.

I would add it works in two ways; it would definitely bring out the conservative vote in November so he needed to knock it off the ballot then. OTB is already in deep trouble in Missouri and doesn't want to turn out the conservatives. (OTB is One Term Bob and the term is used frequently in Missouri)
