Campaign update for sept 27th, 2010

This week in the Missouri Senate election has shown Blunt now in the lead 52-44. An article from Politico has shown that Robin Carnahan has declined to do several debates on public and national TV. The only two debates she agreed upon will not be on TV. The Two televised debates were to be on Fox News and NBC’s “Meet the Press”. Carnahan declined to both and especially to Fox news because Fox is filing a suit against the Carnahan campaign because they are making it look like one of their news anchors is supporting their campaign.

” In a smear ad against political rival Roy Blunt, Defendant Robin Carnahan for Senate, Inc. usurped proprietary footage from the Fox News Network to [make] it appear - falsely - that FNC and Christopher Wallace, one of the nation's most respected political journalists, are endorsing Robin Carnahan's campaign for United State Senate.”

Now what I find weird about Fox News suing the Carnahan campaign is that they were getting a endorsement from a republican and Fox News is a conservative station, so why would the democratic runner want their support in the first place? Personally I would actually want to see the two canadates debate on national TV weather it was NBC or Fox News. But the only two debates are going to be on Missouri public TV, so we'll see what happens.

Campaign update for 9/20/2010

Well this week in the Missouri Campaign for senate, There was one article from A Kansas City News Site about a recent attack ad directed at Robin Carnahan, I don't know weather I should just show u the ad, or........screw it I'm showing it. Be forewarned, it will make u feel nostalgic.....in more ways than one

Did you watch it?...........I don't know weather I should be reminded of the old Batman TV show with Adam West, or be confused at what the message the ad is trying to get across. I guess the point is stating that the big health care bill that was passed a while ago, and that it was a bad idea.

There was one big thing in the article I mentioned earlier.....scroll down to the comments and its kinda shocking........people are either bashing her because of the ad, or bashing the article itself for its less than approprate amout of research

campaign update for 9/13/2010

Its time for the weekly update to the Missouri senate elections for September 13th, 2010.

Lets get right into it. In a poll conducted by the New York Times, Democrat Robin Carnahan only has a 9.1% chance of winning the election! Why such bad chances? its because of her views on concealed handguns, Missouri is one of the concealed carry states.

On Secetary Carbahan youtube page, she uses Roy Blunt's image as a washington "insider". As I mentioned in my very first post of how Blunt is the #1 recipent of lobbying funds, her videos also point that he voted several times to increas his own salary. Finally, the ads are also scaring senior citzens because Blunt does not support medicare.

But on Roy Blunt's Youtube page, his ads say that Robin is not to be trusted because she supports Obama.........and thats bad.....because?

well either way it looks like Mr. Blunt will win but as of today, the votes are still in a dead heat

introduction to the Missouri 2010 senate race

So this is it, the 2010 senate races, today is labor day and it is considered the unofficial start of the campaign season... there so many seats up for grabs in the senate this year......the republicans are going to be trying to gain majority control, whereas the democrats are just defending their majority..........sounds allot like promoting a pay-per-view boxing match........and in Missouri it is going to be very close. For the republicans, there's congressman Roy Blunt who according to his site: Roy Blunt Party Blog, that he is the #1 recipient of lobbyists money. I am from Chicago and when I personally saw that website, something like Mr. Blunt getting the most lobbyist money and government sends a weird vibe about it. Now for the Democrats there's hopeful Robin Carnahan, she is the Missouri secretary of state and is running under the banner that she has saved Missouri taxpayers around $10 billion given back to their rightful owners. Personally, I think Carnahan has a shot to win the senate seat for the democrats.  Finally, The Missouri senate race is actually in a tie at 48% to 48%.

So for the next few weeks, I will give a weekly blog on the progress of this election and give a little of my opinion. So I hope you enjoy and comment if you have and idea or just something to say

Happy Labor Day
