As the November elections near, many people (and papers) are starting to lock-in their votes for their favorite candidates. Today, the Joplin Globe picked current Congressman Roy Blunt over challenger Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan in the run for US Senate.
Blunt’s “depth of experience” was believed to be key to fixing problems in DC that “urgently need solutions…” according to the Globe article.

This is the same Joplin Globe that endorsed then-Senator (and now President) Barack Obama, a Jr. Senator from Illinois, over Senator John McCain because of his running mate Sarah Palin. McCain had been in Congress since 1982, serving as a Senator since 1986.
The Globe said then: “Obama’s ability to transcend generational, racial and partisan divisions, his thoughtful approach to weighty issues and message of bipartisanship resonate with many Americans. There are some who see him as simply a gifted speaker, but his words inspire. We believe that Obama can make those words a reality — making “change” more than just a campaign slogan, but a launching point for a brighter future for all Americans.”
