Still no Blunt Report; Has he returned overlimit cash?

As of 1:41pm this afternoon, there was still no second quarter Missouri Ethics Commission finance report from Missourians for Matt Blunt Inc. on the commission's website.

Observers will be checking the Blunt report closely to see whether he has refunded contributions accepted in excess of the campaign contribution limit while limits were temporarily lifted, and which the Ethics Commission instructed him to return.  Blunt reportedly could not return the entire over limit amount during the first quarter because of supposed liquidity issues.

We should know today Blunt's failure to return contributions earlier was legitimate or was just a ruse designed to allow him to pass along all his ill-gotten cash to the ultimate GOP nominee once limits are again removed in August.
