Popcorn futures are through the roof!
Via The Scorecard at Politico:
Two Republican operatives close to former Sen. Jim Talent say he is likely to run for the Missouri Senate seat of retiring Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.).One Republican operative close to Talent said that he has been "itching to run" since losing to Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) in 2006, and is eager to make a political comeback.
Itching to make a comeback? That ought to come as news to political observers in this state. I mean, I watch politics, and as a rule, if someone is 'itching for a comeback' there is an inkling of it. You tend to see their names in the news now and then, for starters. And they don't, as a general rule, go to work as lobbyists in a climate where lobbyists enjoy standing on a par with porn publishers and tobacco executives.
The wingnut-on-wingnut violence that is going to transpire in the republican primary is going to be brutal. If it was a movie, Dan Glickman would slap a NC-17 rating on it.
