I bet Roy Blunt wishes this story will go away, but it has been running like water around here... we've gotten LOTS of TV and Newspaper coverage. More and more people in SW MISSOURI are starting to ask, "Where's Roy?"
Here is the link to today's article:

In direct relation to this, is a letter that appeared in yesterday's editorial section... you gotta read this:

CAMPAIGN DEBATES:
Blunt could be debating now
Sunday's letter regarding Roy Blunt serving his constituents by being in Washington rather than taking time to debate Jim Newberry leaves me with some questions. Why hasn't Rep. Blunt offered any alternate times when he is available?
Congress isn't in session this week; why can't he do it now? Oh, that's right, he's in New York being "honored" by the largest credit card issuer in America, MBNA America Bank, a corporation that has hundreds of issues before Congress. This is according to Bill Moyers NOW on PBS.
Maybe Rep. Blunt could tell us how attending such an event is serving his constituents?
