What To Ponder As Moore Jumps In


10 LEADING QUESTIONS ABOUT DARRELL MOORE'S ENTRANCE INTO THE RACE FOR CONGRESS:

1. What's Darrell Moore's name identification number among likely Republican primary voters in Southwest Missouri?

2. Has his tenure as Greene County prosecutor been viewed more favorably or unfavorably?

3. Does his brief mention of Billy Long mean that Long has been cemented as the big fish frontrunner in the 7th CD?

4. How many -- if any -- GOP consultants has he spoken with?

5. Who does Moore's entrance into the race hurt most?

6. Which staffers have already started Googling Moore's most controversial prosecutions?

7. In his kick-off speech, will he show his colors as a moderate and say what he believes -- that the conservative portion of the party has put too much emphasis on social issues?

8. Besides budget negotiations, what's Gary Nodler thinking now?

9. How many prominent Springfield attorneys will come out and back him financially?

10. How big is his fire in the belly?

Moore is expected to announce his candidacy for Roy Blunt's Congressional seat Thursday at The Library Center on South Campbell at 4 p.m.
