The Suburban Journals published 1,200 words this weekend on the state Senate primary between incumbent Scott Rupp and Rep. Cynthia Davis without once mentioning that one of the candidates has a...colorful record in the Missouri General Assembly.

Cynthia Davis laid into Scott Rupp and his Republican colleagues in the Missouri Senate on Gina Loudon's radio program yesterday, stating that Rupp et al. are just a "big frat club," are "too wimpy to handle coercion [legislation]," are inept and "trashed" her Health Care Freedom Act by putting a statutory change on the August ballot instead of a constitutional amendment.

"My opponent is a perfect example of what's wrong with Republicans," Davis said.  Rupp "is bloating the budget and pushing bigger government," she continued, apparently forgetting that it's the Senate who was forced to reign in an unbalanced House budget this year.

And part two:

Other words of wisdom from Cynthia about the Republicans in the Missouri Senate:

• "The Senate is supposedly run by Republicans, but they're behaving like Democrats. So what gives? "
• "We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher."
• "The problems going on in Washington are the same problems were' having right here in Jefferson City, just on a smaller scale."
• "I don't have to babysit Todd Akin, he always does the right thing."

People who think Cynthia Davis should be promoted to the Missouri State Senate, like Phyllis Schlafly, Bill Federer and Martin Duggan.

That said, I don't understand a lot of the things Davis and Schlafly do.

"The more that she talks and opens her mouth, the better I look."

-Scott Rupp, talking about his new primary challenger, Cynthia Davis

Dave Drebes reports that Rep. Cynthia Davis (R-O'Fallon) is expected to will challenge state Sen. Scott Rupp (R-Wentzville) next fall in the 2nd District GOP primary.

UPDATE: The Post-Dispatch has more:

“I guess the best way to describe this race is I’m more like Sarah Palin and he’s more like John McCain,” Davis said, referring to the 2008 GOP national ticket.

She said “the facts are the Senate needs me.”  Among other things, she said, she would be a strong anti-abortion advocate in the Senate.

“Nobody in the Senate is a true champion” on the issue, she said.
