In the last few days I’ve had a number of conversations with good Democrats in my area about the outcome of the Democratic Attorney General primary. A husband and wife split, one for Chris Koster and one for Margaret Donnelly. Another individual told me they gave money to Koster and voted for Donnelly. This person is fine with Koster and will support him in the general election. Another individual told me they gave money to Donnelly and voted for Koster. And finally, one individual told me they supported and liked Koster, but voted for Molly Williams “so she’d get some votes.”
Go figure.
If I could ever figure this politics thing out I think I might have a chance some day at amassing real power. It doesn’t look like that’ll ever happen.
