@ScottCharton Interesting... I've often thought about how publishing misdemeanor crimes has a long-lasting negative impact on people. I personally am glad to see them do this. We implemented a policy in '17 of not publishing blotters or covering misdemeanors except in certain circumstances.
While I think Hawley is pretty good at press conference, a debate with McCaskill would be a pressure cooker for him. I've had my fair share of interactions with politicians and McCaskill has got to be the best talking off the cuff.
With still some precincts left, it looks like political newcomer Cindy O'Laughlin, who poured tens of thousands of dollars into her own campaign, will likely be the GOP nominee for Mo. Senate District 18 #MoSEN
Lindell Shumake posts good numbers in Ralls County, but it looks like too big of a deficit to make up. O'Laughlin still going strong in GOP State Senate Dist. 18 primary
About half the precincts reporting in the State Senate District 18 race and Cindy O'Laughlin is sitting with a comfortable 18 point lead #MoPrimary#MoSen
Now seeing a parade of comments and statements from Missouri elected officials towing the party line congratulating Hawley or McCaskill... easily the nauseating part of the evening
The Associated Press has called Missouri's Democratic U.S. Senate primary for Sen. Claire McCaskill and the Republican primary for Attorney General Josh Hawley.
GOP #MoPrimary for State Senate Dist. 18 will likely be highly stratified by geography. Will be very interesting when numbers from farther out places — Randolph Co., Pike Co., Schuyler Co. — come in
With about 1/5 precincts reporting in State Sen. District 18, Cindy O'Laughlin out to a big lead, thanks to strong numbers on her home turf in Shelby Co. #MoPrimary
