#Revenge2012

Dave Drebes teases the idea of a Tom Schweich for Senate run in 2012, three days after Schweich demonstrated his lack of interest in conducting the duties of a State Auditor.  Here's an excerpt from Drebes' trial balloon:

Schweich apparently saw himself as a realistic contender in 2010 before he’d held any elective office, (similar to Ann Wagner now).Since then he’s took down an incumbent state-wide office-holder, which might have even enhanced his self-esteem in such matters.

Auditor has been a stepping stone to Senate before. Sens. Kit Bond, John Ashcroft and McCaskill all had State Auditor on their resume...

Furthermore if Schweich doesn’t go in 2012, he has to wait another six years...

What Drebes doesn't mention is that Schweich made it clear that he would consider a run for higher office in 2012 if he felt that he was not the "consensus" candidate in his 2010 run for Auditor.  (The race he was assigned after signing on the back-room politics of the sedentary, uncreative Republican leadership in this state.)   Here's footage of Schweich talking with Dave Catanese, then a reporter for KY3, refusing to commit to serving a full term as Auditor.  

And where the offense is, let the great axe fall.
