Zane Yates has bowed out of the 3rd District race for the Republican nomination. For good reasons, his father is suffering and I certainly wish him the best in coping with that. But Yates is a reasonable Republican who could have offered a credible alternative to Federer. Parties are always better when they put their best foot forward, not their most extreme---and Federer is about as extreme as they come. Joan McGivney of Webster Groves is also in the race, but it is... http://www.blogstudio.com/SearchResults.jsp?Mode=G&Action=BL_Blog&Method=searchPosts&Subject=Introduction&Display=YES&Id=1035324426281000083379208558&OpenNew=NO&TargetMessageId=1078907176921 Bill Federer seems to be confused about who is running this time around.

Free Martha! What is strange is that a call to KSDK really didn't give a reason except for that she was convicted. I don't get it. How many tv or sports stars have been convicted of a felony and are still on TV? Of course, KSDK was dropping it anyway meaning Ms. ArchPundit was going to be very upset anyway.
