I'm proud to have Roy Blunt (Matt's father) as my rep in the 7th district of Missouri. Matt Blunt is going to have no problems moving into the governor's mansion on Nov 2.

Any polls on the race??

[Missouri]

Any polls on the race??

Matt Blunts campaign sent me an e-mail in which their poll had him up about 46% to 44%. This was about a week ago.

This will be a city versus country election. Here in the St. Louis area, all stops by the local newspaper, unions, and civil rights groups are being pulled for McKaskill. The same goes for KC. Matt Blunt is very strong in the Ozark area. I think northern Missouri (the corn belt) will decide this election.

[Missouri]

Ping.

McKaskill is so far to the left I can't believe she has a prayer. As long as there is not widespread voter fraud in St.Louis similar to the Ashcroft/Carnahan race we should be more than fine.

[Missouri]

This is what the St. Louis Post-Disgrace said about McCaskill in their editorial endorsement of her today.

"CLAIRE MCCASKILL should be elected Missouri's next governor because of her experience, her knowledge of government, her record of accomplishment and her pragmatic, nonideological approach to issues."

nonideological ??!! LOL !!

I sure hope a lot of non-urban voters turn out Nov. 2 in this state. What is coming out of the mouths of the leftist big city newsprint, unions (and I'm in the Machinist union), and civil rights groups would make your head spin. And yes. Get ready for some St. Louis City voter fraud that night.

Matt Blunt is a strong supporter of RKBA. We need to remember our friends, and remind those not totally in-tune with issues. I think he would make a great Gov.

Holdup was an embarassment. So much so, even the Dims trashed him in the Primary. They knew he had no chance against Blunt, nor anyone else for that matter.

______________

Claire McCaskill's own campaign literature brag about her being opposed to CCW and she has stated she will work to over turn it. That is why NRA is behind M. Blunt. She worked with Carnahan to defeat CCW in 1999. She is a clear and present danger to the 2nd Amendment.

Most other Dems running for State-wide office are a threat to RKBA. Carnahan's daughter, Robin managed the anti-PROP B (CCW) fight in 1999. She is running against Catherine Hannaway for Sec. of State.

Becki Cook, former Sec. of State is running against Peter Kinder for Lt. Gov. She is a strong ANTI! Has fought against 2nd Amendment issues her entire adult life. Were it not for Hannaway/Kinder, we would not have CCW.

Lastly, Sarah Steelman, a strong defender of RKBA is running for State Treasurer. All these Republicans are backed by NRA. I say vote STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN on Nov. 2nd!!

[donozark]

In addition to my above post, we need to consider Judge Teitelman. He is the Missouri Supreme Court Justice that fought against CCW. He is also the one holding up execution of Death Row inmates. He is a partisan Democrat, appointed to Circuit Court by Carnahan and Supreme Court by Holden. He must go!

On the ballot, he will be listed as "NP"- non-partisan, and one votes to retain or not retain. This bird gets a NO from me!

Thanks for the ping. I think we need more pics of MAtt on this thread - he's a cutie! :o) Dear God please let the country come out and VOTE!!!

[StarCMC]

Thank you for this tip - I hate it when judges are on the ballot because it's hard to find information about them good or bad. Do you have a good source, or are you just good at remembering??

[FairWitness]

Blunt, 33, is the epitome of the Generation X Republican.

I will vote for Blunt, but I really, really wish he was a little older than 33! Nothing specific - I guess maybe it is just my age (63) showing.

[donozark]

Both. But here is a source re: his stand on PROP B (CCW) in 1999. Current issue (Nov.) of AMERICAN RILEMAN. Missouri edition. See the election insert. Teitelman was one of two dissenting judges in Brooks v. Missouri, which gave Missouri legislature right to grant Missourians CCW permits.

His stance on holding up executions of death row inmates was discussed (on TV) by local prosecutor and Jay Nixon, Missouri AG has filed suit to force the issue.

[StarCMC]

Thanks!! I appreciate the info! :o)

I was in Northern Missouri last week, and even businesses had Republican signage out front.

[gura]

I understand - I'm 31 and I'm feeling old thinking that we'll have a 33 year old governer. :-)

[Missouri]

Judge Teitelman

Thanks for the info. This guy has got to go.

[Missouri]

Thats good to hear. I have distant relatives in Northern Mo. and they were not to happy with "One term Bob". I'm not sure how they felt about Blunt and McCaskill.

[donozark]

One more name I forgot to mention:That being Russ Carnahan-son of, ya, you guessed it. He is a State Representative from Jeff City who voted against CCW. He wants to outlaw gunshows because Al Qaida can come to USA and buy guns at these shows. DUH!

He is running against Bill Federer, a conservative Republican in Gabby Gephart's old District.

Time to nip these Carnahan's in the bud, before they become another Dim Dynasty.

Federer nearly beat Gabby last time around. Let's hope he can capture this seat for us!!Federer04.com
