Rep. Roy Blunt Wins GOP Senate Nod in Missouri
— By Nick Baumann| Tue Aug. 3, 2010 9:03 PM PDT

Rep. Roy Blunt, who held several top positions in the leadership of the congressional GOP during the Bush years, won the Missouri Republican nomination for Senate and will face Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan in the fall. Blunt was leading tea party-backed State Sen. Chuck Purgason, 72 to 13 percent, when the Associated Press called the race.

(Meanwhile, "auctioneer and former radio personality" Billy Long looks set to replace Blunt in Congress. He's leading an eight-way GOP primary in Missouri's heavily Republican 7th district, which Blunt represented for seven terms.)

The Carnahan-Blunt race—which pits members of two Missouri political dynasties (Carnahan's dad was governor; Blunt's son served as secretary of state and governor) against each other—is shaping up to be a blockbuster. The winner will replace retiring Sen. Kit Bond, a Republican, in Washington, and Carnahan's high name recognition and strong polling suggest that this is one of the Democrats' few legitimate pickup opportunities among 2010 Senate races.

4. I never said Roy Blount was better. How did you get all that out my 4-word post?

Kit Bond was a douchebag.......and Roy Blount is an even bigger douchebag. I was just telling the other poster the name of the douchebag that left the Seante seat open.

5. He's still covered in Abramoff's poo.

It might be asking a lot for the wheels of justice to turn, but if they do, Blunt could be one of the people who'll go down.
