Popcorn futures are through the roof!
Via The Scorecard at Politico:
Two Republican operatives close to former Sen. Jim Talent say he is likely to run for the Missouri Senate seat of retiring Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.).
One Republican operative close to Talent said that he has been “itching to run” since losing to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) in 2006, and is eager to make a political comeback.
Itching to make a comeback? That ought to come as news to political observers in this state. I mean, I watch politics, and as a rule, if someone is ‘itching for a comeback’ there is an inkling of it. You tend to see their names in the news now and then, for starters. And they don’t, as a general rule, go to work as lobbyists in a climate where lobbyists enjoy standing on a par with porn publishers and tobacco executives.
The wingnut-on-wingnut violence that is going to transpire in the republican primary is going to be brutal. If it was a movie, Dan Glickman would slap a NC-17 rating on it.
They’re boosting Sarah Steelman for the Senate while dissenting members blame Steelman for Hulshof losing to Nixon.
Now, the person boosting Steelman since she beat Mark Powell in a statewide election probably doesn’t know why that’s such an amusing argument.
Anyways, the number of tough statewide primaries Jim Talent has faced: 0 (and his last tough primary was 1992)
Jim Talent’s 2006 campaign web site is still up.
I love this stuff:
It’s time to start thinking about the proper graphic design so we can be ready to plant “NO” yard signs next to his 4 x 8s.
Certainly couldn’t happen to a better bunch of morons.
that when you sqeezed it little buttons trumpeted out of it eyes, ears and mouth. know the toy i’m talking about? but in real life if you squeeze talent’s head i bet shit comes out of his mouth.
