Items of insignificance which become even more insignificant as the nation moves into a life during wartime — self quarantine? Social distancing? Will anyone even notice with me? —<\/p>\n
The democrats and the republicans weren’t the only ones who had party primary returns on Tuesday. Which leads to the question… What just happened in the Constitution Party race?<\/p>\n
The candidates<\/a>, as they appeared and presented themselves to the voters of Missouri. The founder and director of the straight pride coalition — whose parade we last saw mocked by the band Smashmouth — and frequent candidate for different positions. (Odd if he “founded” the California state party in 2010 — you’ll have to look up what the national party did for the biggest state’s presidential ballot access prior–) yet… Don Grundmann has delivered no photograph… Interesting county by county vote tallies — Benton County has Grundmann blanking Blankenship 1 to 0<\/a> where in Livingston county Blankenshp beat Grundmann by a 2 to 1 ratio<\/a>, 2 votes to 1.<\/p>\n Overall, the race appears to be Blankenshp’s to lose<\/a>, and though he did sneak out of Missouri with 110 more votes<\/a>, it does look closer than Idaho’s result. One possible reason may be local confusion over other namesakes in the news<\/a>— though I wonder how this other Blankenship would have done in this race. (He appears to have a solid voting bloc in his control, after all.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Items of insignificance which become even more insignificant as the nation moves into a life during wartime — self quarantine?

\nTHat alone may give Don Blakenship a leg up. Whatever one makes of the biographical data provide — He’s served a prison sentence for corporate malfeasance in the coal industry and has and successful Senate run under his belt of… Populism?<\/p>\n
