MO-SEN 2022 megathread: ERIC

Not super thrilled with this, as it increases the chances of Greitens getting it. But I have to hope the reason Blunt didn't run is because he knew Greitens wouldn't either. As boring as he may be, Blunt was the best shot at defeating Greitens in a primary.

Statewide, AG Eric Schmitt and SoS Jay Ashcroft are both possibilities. Ann Wagner also seems like someone likely to run, especially considering the trends of her district. She is my top choice for now.

Good grief...

KC Mayor marries longtime girlfriend, a move that possibly foreshadows a Senate run. Also, they gave birth to a newborn baby over the weekend.

Didn't see any chance for momentum with Greitens - granted I don't watch local TV often, but I never saw a single commercial for him. The ads running against him that read his wife's testimony about his domestic abuse were damning, it would have been very difficult to come back from that. I'm surprised Trump went with "Eric" instead of going all in on Schmitt since it was pretty obvious he'd win.
