Missouri voters, like you, understand that votes matter and have already told us that you strongly support state funds for family planning (69%), that you believe pharmacies should dispense birth control without discrimination or delay (65%), that you believe sex education should be comprehensive (76%), and that the government should not step between a patient and her doctor (63%). Not what Governor Blunt wants to hear. But, together, we say "enough is enough to failed policies and failed politicians."

Blunt won’t seek re-election

JEFFERSON CITY Gov. Matt Blunt, facing a tough re-election fight and a slowing economy, bowed out of the race Tuesday, declaring that he had accomplished all he set out to do.
In a video posted on the YouTube Internet site, Blunt said he decided not to seek re-election because he had little left to achieve. . . . “You could have knocked me over with a feather,” said Rep. Margaret Donnelly, a St. Louis County Democrat who is running for attorney general.
The announcement came just a week after Blunt’s campaign filed a quarterly fundraising report showing he had raised $9.88 million for his re-election bid.
