Tragic. Military vet who did a combat tour.

Smart money would still be on Blunt but he was as good a candidate as the dims could get.

I suspect he got a phone call from his doctor.

Did he have any ties to the Ferguson crap and DOJ meddling?

What would the state auditor have to do with Ferguson?

I cannot help but wonder if maybe the auditors were auditing the Auditor.

Quote from the local STL news. “The police source said Schweich’s wife was in another room of their house when she heard her husband making phone calls, followed by a single gunshot.”

Can’t even imagine what his poor wife is going through.

No.

Agreed. Way too many tin foil hat wearers around here.

This is sad! With that said, it now leaves a possibility for Sarah Steelman to run for Governor.

Someone probably had info they were going to bring out, and it was not good.

Last two days some very derogatory political ads against this man have been on local radio. I wonder if that could have had anything to do with this suicide.

There wouldn't be a politician alive if they were that thin-skinned.

The propensity Missouri Republicans have for excoriating each other is legendary. Steelman vs. Hulsof. Steelman vs Brunner. On and on...

Dear God.

At least he didn’t do it on camera like Budd Dwyer.

RIP

Does Governor a**face get to replace him as Auditor until 2016?

Nasty and bizarre radio ad against him recently came out.

I would presume he does. The question is whether there will be a special election called (since the term just commenced last month) before 2018.

That's what it sounds like to me.

Tenuous connection to Judaism/anti-Semitism - see article.

Politics1 lists a 2016 special, FWIW.
