Reading between the political lines
Saturday, January 26, 2008
OK, so let me chime in on the sudden and unexpected political bombshell that incumbent Gov. Matt Blunt would not seek re-election this November. The fact is that political junkies are having a feeding frenzy on the Blunt withdrawal but, for most people, they unfortunately have more interest in hearing about Heath Ledger's death. In other words, on the state level in politics, there is not the interest nor passion that our friends in Jefferson City would have us believe. And that is especially sad because those in power in Jefferson City have a much greater impact over our lives than the news that most people follow on a regular basis.
