MISSOURI PRIMARY CONSULTANT SCORECARD

Here is a quick look at how the different consultants did on primary night. We need to do more research on reports to get an exact picture of who ran which campaigns, but from the available information we were able to put this together. You will see that some consultants had very good night while others were taken to the woodshed.

Keep in mind some of these companies only handled mail or phones or media and were not the general consultant running the show. It is funny how when they are involved in a losing race they explain how they really didn't have anything to do with the loss. But on those that they are involved in that win, they explain how helpful they were to the campaign and want the credit for the victory.

As the old quote goes, “Victory has a thousand fathers while defeat is an orphan!”

If we missed a race or have soemthing wrong please email us and let us know.  Once the new finance reports come out we will be able to improve this list.

 

MISSOURI POLITICAL BUG PRESS AVAILABILITY -FRIDAY MARCH 30TH

Rod Jetton has started a campaign analysis service designed to provide political observers with the in-depth information needed to make informed decisions regarding Missouri elections.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO- The Missouri Political Bug, founded by Rod Jetton, is a campaign analysis service covering Missouri House, Senate and statewide campaigns as well as congressional politics, political developments and ballot initiatives in Missouri.  The Missouri Political Bug (MPB) is a non-partisan service; it will neither endorse candidates nor advocate positions on matters of public policy.

Redistricting has dramatically changed the political landscape in Missouri. Recent court challenges have compounded that change and have added to the uncertainty surrounding the new legislative lines. Many state associations, lobbyists, corporate industries, private donors, PAC’s, candidates, and partisan groups want to know how the new districts will affect the 2012 elections.   MPB has begun researching the voting histories of these new districts.  Now that the maps have been finalized and filing has closed they will start district visits, along with candidate interviews, to assess the upcoming elections.  MPB will then issue status reports and predictions based on their analysis of the research.       

Jetton stated, “The goal of MPB will be to provide unbiased and objective information that will help capitol observers reliably predict the winners of House, Senate and statewide campaigns as well as ballot initiatives in Missouri.” He plans to accomplish this by conducting exhaustive research on all Missouri candidates and their campaigns.  This research will cover the key factors that effect political races, including: fundraising activities, press relations, issue stances, grassroots organization and paid media efforts.

Jetton will be available next Friday, March 30th to meet with members of the media and answer questions.
