Transgender Opponents With $5 In Their Campaign Coffers Don’t Make Roy Blunt Nervous

It looks like Roy Blunt might have himself a pretty formidable opponent in his bid to capture a Missouri Senate seat.
Transgender political activist Midge Potts says she’ll attempt to run for U.S. Senate under the Progressive Party banner.
Potts, who ran against Roy Blunt in the GOP 7th District primary in 2006, says she’ll make an official announcement Thursday. The Progressive Party currently doesn’t have ballot status, so she’ll need 10,000 verified signatures. [over/under on this not happening?]
Issues that will play an integral part of Midge’s platform include: [but are certainly not limited to]
1. Withdrawing all US troops from the Middle East [creative]
2. Balancing the federal budget [easy]
3. Abolishing the IRS [realistic]
4. Making it legal for American farmers to grow hemp and marijuana [game changer]
When asked how much money she had in her campaign bank account, her response, "five dollars." [brutally honest]
Pots is set to kick off her campaign at the Magic Bean Coffee House in Springfield, MO.

Actually, the video clip of the ky interview was from 2006, so my quote about having “$5 in the bank” is 3 years old. LOL… I have at least $25 now! And by the way, despite my lack of money in 2006 I still got over 7% of the Republican primary vote in Blunt’s home district.
You don’t have to wonder if Roy Blunt is nervous about me entering this race… he surely is! But that is just because he knows me and knows I am liable to show up anywhere to confront him in some creative way… Afterall, I walked up behind the Attorney General of the United States with a banner poking fun at him… that pic of Gonzales ended up in the NY Times!
Anyway, Robin Carnahan is the one who should be worried… I am probably going to eat away at her votes more than Blunt’s. I predict that I will get no less that 7% in the election in November 2010; but honestly, I am aiming to win!
Sincerely,
Midge Potts
