National money and local action may be crucial in Missouri's hot U.S. Senate contest

Democrat Jason Kander’s new TV ad, which shows him assembling an assault weapon blindfolded, already has been hailed by the Washington Post as the best campaign ad so far this year.

That’s just the latest evidence of the national attention – and money – that’s been pouring into Missouri for months to aid or attack Kander or the man he hopes to defeat in November, U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

I couldn't stand him and his holier than thou BS then either. One of his son Matt's good friends was my neighbor/landlord years ago, and would talk about what an ass Matt was. Can't stand the whole lot of them.
