Meet Chuck.  [primary time]

State Senator Chuck Purgason told the KY3 Political Notebook Monday night that he’ll officially launch his campaign for U.S. Senate this Thursday, setting up a GOP primary match-up against Congressman Roy Blunt.

Although we’re huge fans, one issue that Mr. Purgason has working against him [besides the fact that he’ll be out spent 35 to 1] – is the outfit.  According to our research, Missouri hasn’t elected anyone who wears a bolo tie since 1982.
