Concur. Purgason doesn’t have any name recognition statewide. Carny would mop the floor with him. Blunt has a strong chance to win this. Ok, he isn’t a pristine conservative, but he is so far superior to Robin Carny that its really apples and anteaters by comparison. No more Carny’s for Missouri. The dynasty ends in November 2010.
Ed Martin for MO-3 (Rusty’s seat)
Roy Blunt for US Senate - MO (Retiring Kit Bond’s seat)
I fail to comprehend your logic. By your own admission, Purgason is the better candidate. But you will vote for Blunt because Purgason doesn’t have name recognition? What does that gain you?
Scenario 1)
Primary: You vote for Blunt, Blunt wins
General: You vote for Blunt, Blunt wins
Scenario 2)
Primary: You vote for Purgason, Blunt wins
General: You vote for Blunt, Blunt wins
Scenario 3)
Primary: You vote for Purgason, Purgason wins
General: You vote for Purgason, Purgason wins
Scenario 4)
Primary: You vote for Purgason, Purgason wins
General: You vote vor Purgason, Carnahan wins
Now, I ask you, how likeley is Scenario 4 to happen? Sounds like you’d be okay with any of the first 3 scenarios. If Purgason can best Blunt in the Primary, what makes you think he couldn’t handle Carnahan just fine? PPP(D) has Purgason down 4% to Carnahan with only 11% name recognition. If he were to win the Primary, the whole world will know who Purgason is. He’d be the next Sharron Angle.
