LOCAL POLITICS DOT COM--MISSOURI STATE REPRESENTATIVE RACE: BEAU KNOWS--BUT HE'S NOT TELLING

OK, I can't stand it anymore. Beau Hicks decided to challenge the incumbent. High Profile Race. Well Known Guy. Incumbent backed by area cult figure. All the earmarks of a Near-Duckworth experience. Except Beau has gone undercover. It could be he's trying to learn to say "Gummint" before he hits the trail.

So here's the deal, Beau. 300 words or less to our unnews cold line, abcforvictims@justice.com on why you should represent the folks of NEMO in Jeff City. I will post them, without comment for our vast NEMO readership to consider. If your opponent wants to rebut them (same rules), I'll post his rebuttal in the same post, without simultaneous comment.

The price is right. No charge for either of you. Get your message out. Highly sophisticated market research indicates that 100% of our readership votes.

This is an effort to achieve Good Gummint!
