Caucus Clash?
The Missouri Democrats picked up the most Missouri House seats they've picked up, five, in a generation.
However, attention now shifts to the Missouri Senate and what happens when the Democrats caucus on Thursday.
Word was, Sen. Chuck Graham (19-Columbia), was hoping to oust Sen. Maida Coleman (5-St. Louis) as minority leader, and that a victory by Doug Harpool in Senate District 30 (representing Springfield) to help give him the edge.
What happens now? Will Maida survive, or will Graham find a new ally?
Wouldn't that be Senate minority leader?

Corrected.

They must feel like they have been on a bender for about 12 years and the last two days and the next 2 plus years are tantamount to the biggest hangover a party has had in a decade.
