February 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment

Sometimes, it’s too easy to post political “dirt” on liberal Democrats like Robin “Coakley” Carnahan.  A recently-released television spot (below) produced by the Missouri Republican Party reveals everything Missouri voters need to know about the U.S. Senate wannabe now serving as secretary of state for the Show-Me State (i.e., “She’s in cahoots with ACORN!”).
