Shaw: All But Over?
We almost missed the prognostication of Rep. Clay Shaw (R-FL), who thinks the ML's race is all but over and done with.
FNC's Major Garrett: "Today six Florida Republicans wrote a letter to House Speaker Dennis Hastert urging him to schedule these House leadership elections before the president's scheduled State of the Union address on January 31. Most of those Republicans support Blunt. That prompted some speculation that Blunt supporters might fear this race is slipping away. But one of those Republicans, Clay Shaw of Florida, told me that Blunt has this race wrapped up, saying, this race is just about over."
Our take: it's hard to know what stage this race is in, and it's difficult to conclude that are too many members out there who have made up their minds but who refuse to go public.
