Yesterday, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C121244 07/26/2012 FRED SAUER GOVERNOR Fred Sauer 454 Hammersmith Road St Louis MO 63141 Orion Investment Company 7/26/2012 $80,000.00

[emphasis added]

That’s $415,000.00 in self funding since April, $205,000.00 in July alone.

That’s not a particularly grassrootsie kind of way to raise campaign cash.

This is Missouri. It could happen. Sort of. Maybe.
