JAY NIXON TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon has filed paperwork with the Missouri Ethics Commission to run for governor against Matt Blunt in 2008. According to the Columbia Daily Tribune, he filed a document that amends details of his fundraising committee, Friends of Nixon.

This isn't much of a surprise: Nixon and Blunt have already grappled over a few issues. Nixon said Blunt's 65% plan for funding schools "made no sense." Nixon opposed Blunt in preventing a prisoner from getting an abortion. And Nixon stopped Blunt from giving up rights to the Boonville Bridge, which would have endangered the Katy Trail in favor of a tasty contract with Union Pacific.

The Mailbox thinks that, though Nixon filed way too early, this will be a really good race. And the Mailbox has three words for why Nixon will win: No Call list. GOP or Dem; anyone who thinks of something like that gets the Mailbox's vote.
