Now for a bit of domestic politics. Out in Missouri, my friend Jeff Smith has decided to run for office again, this time for the Missouri State Senate.
Last Summer, Jeff was one of a dozen candidates for Rep. Gephardt's vacated seat. Starting the race with little name recognition, a small political base and a lot of determination, he made a name for himself in the St. Louis area. He unfortunately lost by about 1,000 votes, only about 1% of the vote, to Russ Carnahan in the Democratic primary. To even get that close to Carnahan, whose name is untouchable in St. Louis, was an accoplishment.
Jeff has now decided to run at the state level in a district he won many votes from when he was running last year. He's got more name recognition, a larger base, and that same determination that will make him a great senator in Jefferson City.
Jeff Smith's website is a work in progress, but has a letter from him plus a place to donate. Archpundit has more info as well.
