The dems have had a really nasty and probably effective TV ad running constantly for weeks, claiming Roy Blunt is in the pocket of “Big Oil” and not for the people because he voted against cap and trade; even in the conservative enclave of the state that I live in. His office sent out a good mail-out last week to combat it, but I wish he’d hit Carnaham in a TV ad. Maybe later, it’s bit early, except the dems are already out of the gate here.
I think Blunt can win. As a state, we’re very closely divided - that’s why we have a Dem governor and a Rep Lt. governor. I like to say that. The real reason is that our Rep. candidate for governor in 08 stunk. (my opinion.)
If Democrats can win running on what they did this past year, our nation is gone.
I looked at the League of Conservation voters web site, who is responsible for the ad. Interesting left wing connections, including a partnership with the Apollo Alliance.
What gets me is that nobody is refuting those ads which promote cap and tax.
