The GOP is worried about the Fann race in house district 16, St. Charles County. Or at least Kit Bond is, since Fann’s Republican opponent, Mark Parkinson, is Bond’s protege, and Bond figures the Republican mayor of St. Peters has been … too kind … to Tom Fann.

I hope folks in the 16th realize how underhanded Fann and the Dems have acted.
Pay attention to who published this — the George Soros-supported “Daily Kos!”
