that’s funny. it’s donnelly and her folks who are doing all the whining. Harris looks like a leader, and Donnelly looks like a follower.

roger, you post everywhere, why cant I? I agree that this argument shows a good contrast between the candidates, Harris and his boy supporters are whiners. Donnelly’s on the other hand commend Jeff for his CAFO bill and move on.

Way to copy and paste your posts on multiple blogs, “allen.” Saw your same lame swipe on the P-D. Harris isn’t attacking Donnelly, he’s drawing a contrast. He also didn’t say she supports CAFOs, just that he’s the one leading on the issue, not her. And judging from her response, it looks like even she agrees with him on that.

If Donnelly wants to make a web video about product safety, there’s nothing stopping her. She can draw a contrast too. But of course, that won’t make it an “attack.”

Do you think voters don’t deserve to know the differences between the candidates so they can make informed decisions?

Seems like Jeff is pushing leglislation in order to raise money – thatâ€™s ethical. It will be interesting to see who donates to his campaign now.

Not really the type of person I want in the AGâ€™s office.

Donnelly has a bill beefing up product safety in Missouri. Harris didnt sign on nor does he have a “plan” on the issue. Does that mean he wants children to eat lead off of toys and to die in shoddy cribs? Of course not. The attack on Donnelly is weak and unnecessary. He has a great bill and he should stick to the positives and knock those who oppose it — Koster.

All Harris does is attack, attack, attack. Do you know why? Because nobody is listening. He has zero support, zero endorsements zero money. All he can do to get attention is cry like baby and run attack adds. Jeff, run a positive campaign and maybe people will start listening….but I doubt it.

It’s hard to tell from the slanted headline exactly who PubDef is working for — Koster or Donnelly? I think Donnelly’s been a fine representative, but it’s painfully obvious that the only plan she has on this issue is to latch on to Harris’s plan.

And Bored is definitely off his/her rocker if he/she thinks Harris is attacking Donnelly by just stating the facts about her record. This is a pretty positive video about how Harris is leading on the issue. It’s nobody’s fault but Donnelly’s that she’s been a follower.

And if you don’t get why this issue matters, then you ought to learn more about it. Like clean water? Then you ought to oppose CAFOs. It’s that simple. Kudos to Harris on this one.

How is the headline even possibly correct. Since when does signing out to a bill and signing a petition constitute a plan.

You obviously want to do whatever you can to run down Jeff and create conflict between Jeff and Margaret. Gives me a good idea who Koster fears.

Why didn’t you ask Koster why he supported the stinkiest bill in the legislature last year that took away local control. A lot of the Republican caucus didn’t even support the bill.

While you are talking to Koster why don’t you ask him why he voted to kick more than 180,000 Missourians including more than 30,000 African Americans off health care. Also ask him why he moved the previous question on a bill made to harder for African Americans to vote. And ask him the sole reason he gives for running for attorney general is to put a bunch of people in prison.

I love your blog and you are a young talented person. But supporting and working for Koster is wrong. No matter how much he pays you.

I like Donnelly’s idea for CAFO regulation: support the Harris plan. Harris is clearly leading the charge on CAFO regulation in the state while Donnelly, Koster and Gibbons all take the back seat.

Also, I’m not sure I see this as an “Attack” as “bored with rage” states. It’s simply stating fact: Donnelly does not have a plan of her own to address the problems CAFOs present under Missouri’s current regulatory scheme.

i agree with roger…signing a petition and being a co-sponsor of a bill does not mean that the person has come up with a plan. it is easy to attach yourself to the plan and not do any work, similar to koster attaching himself to the democratic party, but it is different to actually be the first to put that plan in action. even though donnelly has not led on this issue like harris has, she is still better than koster who is just wrong on the issue.
