MO-Sen: That's Really Super, Supergirl
Missouri Treasurer Sarah Steelman declares open season on white guys in suits, and that means you, Fat E. Bluntz Rep. Roy Blunt:

"I'm in the process of laying the groundwork that I need to get done before making an official announcement," Steelman told POLITICO. "I'm definitely strongly leaning towards doing this."
Her expected entrance in the campaign increases the likelihood of a divisive primary, which Blunt had been trying to avoid.

In the interview, Steelman took some sharp jabs at Blunt, describing the seven-term congressman Blunt as being part of the "old-boys' network" who has spent too much time in Washington.

"Roy Blunt is another white guy in a suit, and I think the public wants change," Steelman said. "There's a good old boys' network out there that's hard to penetrate... and it's not always in the best interest of the party or for conservative principles."

Hoo boy. Can Steelman succeed in mucking up two statewide primaries in a row for the GOP? Granted, I fully realize that Hulshof was probably doomed anyway last year, but she sure didn't make things any easier for Kenny Boy.

This one could be pretty fun to watch.

2. I'm liking this "James L." guy who wrote this story.
A man who can work an obscure reference to a song off my favorite XTC album into a headline is my kind of man.
