Former Sen. Jim Talent to Endorse Roy Blunt for Senate

Via Facebook:

“Join Roy Blunt for a special event this Saturday, June 20, with Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder and former U.S. Senator Jim Talent.

The event will be held on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac in the Ambassador Ballroom. The address is 1335 South Lindbergh, St. Louis, 63131. Please join us for this special event and show your support for Roy!”

I think it’s safe to assume that this event will include endorsement announcements from both Kinder and Talent. Missouri Republicans should be very excited. I’m stuck in Virginia tomorrow, but if you’re in the area, grab your camera and head over to the event. If you post pictures or comments on  your own blogs, Facebook, or Twitter, be sure to let me know and I’ll link.

Those of you who followed my first blog, Elocutio (via Townhall.com), might recall that I got started blogging more or less because of Jim Talent’s 2006 Senate race. I wrote about it daily, volunteered for the campaign, and earned myself a ticket to a full-time job with Townhall because of my coverage of the race and the stem cell amendment in Missouri that year. I only mention this to impress the serious respect I have for Jim Talent and his career. If he’s with Blunt, I am, too. If you’re not familiar with the work he’s doing these days–largely on missile defense–know that it is unmatched.

I ran into him at the airport here in D.C. not too long ago, and among other things, said, “I hope we’ll see you again soon.” He smiled and replied, “I hope so, too.” With any luck, Talent will be joining Roy Blunt in the Senate in just a few years.
