Will Purgason Track Blunt to Jeff City?

After weeks of giving GOP rival Chuck Purgason the slip and denying the existence of a party primary, Roy Blunt may have outsmarted himself.

Blunt has announced his plans to be at a State Capital presser on Thursday at 2:30PM.

But Blunt is likely to find that taking his campaign to Purgason's favorite political hunting grounds and announcing it in advance was a mistake.  No doubt Purgeson, a professional big-game hunter by trade, will follow Blunt's pork droppings to the event.  And when the two meet, Blunt may well find himself on the business end of a bolo tie and a tea bag.
