VOTE NOW: Polls Open for Renaissance Regional

Game 25: Jay Nixon
v. Thomas Schweich

You better vote for Schweich or he'll have one of his well-compensated underlings hand-deliver a nasty letter to your office. Just remember that he'll fold like a cheap lawn chair if you tell him to bugger off.

Game 26 Rob Mayer v.
Victor Callahan

Callahan and Mayer are usually evenly matched when they've got their caucuses standing next to them. Mayer + 25 = Callahan + 7. But TigerBloodTourney games are a one-on-one affair. And fighting dirty is encouraged...


Game 27: Roy Blunt v.
Mike Talboy

The Ultimate Washington Insider vs. Staffer-Turned-Legislator: Sen. Blunt's a heavyweight with all the corporate cash he needs to buy his way to the next round. Don't write off young Talboy, though, he could pull off an upset with hard work and the endorsement of Chuck Purgason's hairpiece.


Game 28: Francis Slay v. Mike Sanders

A 4/13 matchup pitting St. Louis against Kansas City, a mayor against a county executive, and a rising star against a political machine. Could this be a sleeper for an early round upset?


Game 29: Steve Tilley v.
Brad Lager

The most powerful man in the Missouri General Assembly takes on the most powerful Senator from Andrew County. If Tilley triumphs, Lager will have 3,000 smelly Smithfield hogs plopped down next to the Speaker's Las Vegas vacation home.


Game 30: Emanuel Cleaver v. Peter Kinder

Peter the Tweeter, a man known for spitting lunacy in 140 characters or less. Time for him to put on the big-boy pants and match up with someone that understands the proper way to construct a thought (remember sentences have BOTH a subject AND predicate).

Bonus contest: Guess which one of these men is the obsessive Fired Up! reader.


Game 31: Jolie Justus v.
Jane Cunningham

A match-up of contrasts: west vs. east, Democrat vs. GOP, young vs. uhh... not-young, and tolerant lucidity vs. beaver-scat insanity. Calamity Jane is a Queen, of sorts, but can she parlay that into Tiger Blood royalty? Jolie is an early favorite, if only because Jane can't hire a bus of 7 year olds to skip work and vote for her all day. Not yet, anyway.


Game 32: Claire McCaskill v. Vicky Hartzler

Vegas puts the over/under on total Hartzler votes at 1, and that's assuming she doesn't forget to vote for herself.
