Blunt lobbying for Palin to campaign for him in Missouri

It appears Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt is doing his best to solidify his credentials with the far right. The New York Times reports that Blunt is trying to get former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to campaign for him in Missouri:

Republican candidates have alternately pleaded for her support and avoided her like frostbite. Rep. Roy Blunt, for instance, a Republican Senate candidate in Missouri, has lobbied for Ms. Palin to appear on his behalf (to no avail, so far), whereas Scott Brown, the new Republican senator from Massachusetts, claimed he had never spoken to her before later acknowledging that an election-night phone call from Ms. Palin had “slipped his mind.”
