Blunt Talk, National Consequences
Here's the entirety of Missouri Governor Blunt's sudden exit from the race.

Doesn't make sense at first glance.
But on second glance makes all the sense in the world.
My take:
Best I can tell this was a nationally orchestrated departure.
Blunt had so dulled the Republican voter base in Missouri with his free spending and embryonic stem cell support that the National party--figuring they already were guaranteed a Presidential nominee who would not enjoy widespread Republican support--begged Blunt to move aside to get someone in there to energize the November vote in an ALL important Missouri state.
In exchange Blunt was virtually guaranteed the nomination to fill Senator Kit Bond's Senate seat if he doesn't get a post in a possible Republican Presidential Administration. Blunt was also spared months of terror and reputation dismantling at the hands of Democrats.
Blunt can now spend more time shining is national image as he has been doing while talking up Mitt Romney.
Why did the Governor wait as long as he did and make a lot of Missouri Republicans mad? It's now all the more possible for a guy like Lt. Governor Peter Kinder to ride the Lt. Gov. incumbency. The rest can't possibly raise enough money at this stage to compete with a Nixon warchest.
Kinder is a much more conservative Repub than Blunt was. There's a sure race now. That gives Republicans a reason to come out in November, even if McCain (heaven forbid) or one of the others don't generate much interest.
One possible contender, Sarah Steelman, certainly knew something THREE DAYS AGO at least. My friend Antonio French at PubDef.net snagged this video from the Treasurer's website.
