PLEASE, no more McCaskill!
I took a lot of heat on here in 2012 for saying Todd Akin should withdraw from the race after his blunder. I knew McCaskill had it won if he didn’t.
We have many talented and capable candidates in Missouri...why can’t they get past the primary?
I was hollering about Aikin getting out, too, but got no support that I recall.
You said “We have many talented and capable candidates in Missouri...why can’t they get past the primary?”
Have you ever been to Rep. Headquarters in Springfield? I went in 08 - for the LAST time. Wanted to help. (Actually wanted to get Sarah Palin elected, period.) Wanted a yard sign. They had none, except for some simpering little “Kenny” guy they loved running for some state office, I forgot now. They all hated Sarah Steelman. The Rep. groups in MO. (at least in the Ozarks) seem to be little cliques for their favored local candidates and not much else. The delegate meeting in 2016 was the same. The Tea Party rallies earlier were the same. They are not thinking Big or Wide; they are thinking Small and Narrow, and their best pals. Sorry, but that’s what I see.
