Combest: Bowman & McCaskill

Blogger and middle-of-the-road Republican John Combest says yesterday’s indictment of Black Caucus Chairman John Bowman may affect one of the state rep’s recent clients, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill.

“Just one month ago, the St. Louis American took a look at the McCaskill campaign finance reports. The paper followed the national money through a Missouri Dem fund and noted that ‘Bowman’s Consulting’ took ‘a lot of jack’ from the Missouri Democratic State Committee,” wrote Combest.

“To Claire, Bowman wasn’t just a workhorse — he was a show horse, too. When she went after Jim Talent on race, she had lots of black faces to choose from — and she chose John Bowman.”

Combest predicts Sen. McCaskill will “wash her hands of Bowman faster than an obsessive-compulsive at a leper colony. And expect the people who have been waiting to nail Claire for her first snafu to have a field day with the campaign finance paper trail that ties the indicted to our junior Senator. “
