Missouri GOP: High turnout for filing shows dissatisfaction with Democrats

Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Lloyd Smith takes the high filing turnout as a signal of good things to come for his party. He issued the following release:

“In Missouri and across the nation, Americans are fed up with the big-tax, big-debt, big-government policies of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. They are tired of the relentless expansion of the federal government into the lives and pocketbooks of hard-working Americans, whether it is in the form of Democrats’ health care debacle, their devastating cap-and-trade proposals, or their failed stimulus. Now, Missourians are standing up and saying ‘enough is enough,’ which is why Republicans are literally lining up to run for office. As of 5:00 PM today, 224 Republicans have filed to run for local, state, and federal offices in Missouri—and this enthusiasm will only increase in the coming weeks as Republicans work to take back our country.”

Or the high turnout for filing shows dissatisfaction with the Republicans currently in office.
