Big money heading Democrats' way in Missouri

On the final day of the reporting period, the big money was almost exclusively headed toward Democratic candidates, according to 48-hour reports filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Gov. Jay Nixon received $81,000 for his re-election effort, while Attorney General Chris Koster banked $52,500. The top Republican total was $2,500 by Koster's likely November opponent, former Matt Blunt chief of staff Ed Martin.

Of course, since there are 48-hour reports, they may well be some posted Sunday and Monday.
