Urge Your Congressman to Support John Shadegg

The guys at RedState are getting kinda huffy about it.

Had Roy Blunt not put the final nail in his leadership coffin yesterday morning with his Wall Street Journal op-ed, he surely would have done so yesterday afternoon with his overly structured and sterile blogger conference call, both of which showed him more establishmentarian than in touch. To be sure, the race is still his to lose, but he is right now doing quite well at losing.

Yesterday I spoke with a half dozen Republicans now living on K Street and three congressmen. The congressmen are all publicly supporting Roy Blunt. I also spoke with some congressional aides. Everyone felt that Blunt had peaked too soon, lost momentum, and was, through his own words and deeds, solidifying himself as a man oblivious to a growing problem. Not one of his three supporters, nor the aides associated with others of his supporters are convinced right now that Roy Blunt has the race wrapped up.
I strongly urge both my monthly readers to lay on the horn for John Shadegg!
