He was hated even by his own party here in Missouri.

Then again, if he ever runs in a primary again and I can vote for him, I will. I crossed lines last primary to do just that. Claire's camp wanted him to win the primary and this was long before the rape comments. He was the easiest target out of those who ran. Her strategy-get Dems to vote for him in the primary, all while targeting commercials directly at him during the primaries that referred to him as "too conservative for Missouri" were a stroke of genius. And it's a strategy that should be repeated over and over again.
