Ed Martin showed last quarter he really doesn't stand a chance in the US Senate Race. He lost miserably to the clueless blonde bimbo in fundraising for next year's coming primary.
Martin raised just over $162,000 last quarter, while blondie raised over $1 million in hopes of beating Claire Mama Caskill later on. Of course there is still hope that a Republican with some credibility will come forward and take both of these two out, and it might be a win/win for Ed Martin.
Congressman Todd Akin, who voted against TARP, the bailouts, and Bush's big government agenda still may announce. Rumor has it that redistricting may be the key to lure Martin out of this race and into the House of Representatives, while clearing the way for Akin to take on Sarah Steelman. Steelman is being criticized already in the St. Louis media as "not the sharpest knife in the drawer."
