5. Baby Blunt liked her, that is enough for me, voting no on her

After 43 days of anxiety, acrimony and accusations, Gov. Matt Blunt on Friday made a choice most observers had expected him to make from the get-go: naming Patricia Breckenridge as the state's newest Supreme Court judge.

Breckenridge, a judge on the Missouri Court of Appeals' Western District, was the only finalist with Republican credentials. She was named as a candidate on July 25, along with fellow Western District Judge Ronald Holliger and Nannette Baker of the court's Eastern District. Breckenridge will succeed Judge Ronnie White, who resigned in July.
