Follow the money

With two weeks until Election Day, we've entered the campaign silly season, but some of what we're learning about Tommy Sowers isn't funny at all.

While Sowers is trashing Jo Ann Emerson for her support and endorsements from Political Action Committees like those of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Missouri Farm Bureau and Missouri Right to Life, a new website documents the money Sowers is soliciting from pro-abortion and environmental extremists.

Mr. Sowers routinely says candidates are beholden to those who support them, and Jo Ann does have a strong record of fighting on behalf of veterans, farmers and families against the job-killing, tax-raising policies of President Obama. So one should ask, who would Mr. Sowers fight for? The residents of the 8th District or the same liberal extremists who helped elect President Obama and are now bankrolling Sowers' campaign?
