It doesn’t appear Alan Jacquemotte\u00c2\u00a0is running for anything<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Formerly of the Natural Law party (maybe the last candidate for the party ever?) \u00c2\u00a0and now a Republican.<\/p>\n

I suppose he didn’t spell out when he was running here<\/a>, but I did just assume he was running this year. \u00c2\u00a0Oh well. \u00c2\u00a0I had intended to poke in at around primary time. \u00c2\u00a0The primary is on. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t see him. \u00c2\u00a0So it goes…<\/p>\n

Michigan. \u00c2\u00a0Or, for one of the fluke one party states where there’s nothing up in the Senate contest. \u00c2\u00a0Pete Hoekstra is supposed to win against\u00c2\u00a0Clark Durant. \u00c2\u00a0And then lose in November. \u00c2\u00a0But be reasonably competitive in doing so.<\/p>\n

Missouri’s Republican Senate race, on the other hand, is… fun<\/a>?
\n\u00c2\u00a0But in Missouri, FreedomWorks, the Express, and other influential conservative players find themselves on opposite sides of tomorrow’s contested\u00c2\u00a0Senate primary.\u00c2\u00a0FreedomWorks for America, the super PAC arm of conservative nonprofit FreedomWorks, has endorsed businessman John Brunner. The\u00c2\u00a0Tea Party Express, however, has thrown its support and $76,000 in outside spending behind former state treasurer Sarah Steelman, who recently claimed Sarah Palin’s endorsement. Meanwhile, a third candidate, Rep.\u00c2\u00a0Todd Akin\u00c2\u00a0(R-Mo.) has been endorsed by Rep.\u00c2\u00a0Michele Bachmann\u00c2\u00a0(R-Minn.), who heads the Congressional Tea Party Caucus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Claire McCaskill, the Democratic incumbent, is probably the most vulnerable Democrat going into November.<\/p>\n

Your Ron Paul “Lberty” candidates<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0in all three state primary races.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Washington is left watching to see… whether the Republican or the Democratic nominee will come in first. \u00c2\u00a0It doesn’t matter<\/a>, but the state needs to watch something. \u00c2\u00a0Otherwise we’re down to\u00c2\u00a0the typical clown show lineup of perennials<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Please, everyone… vote for goodspaceguy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
