What are Eric Greitens odds of winning the Republican nomination? I like him a lot. He could he an excellent 2020 or 2024 GOP Presidential candidate.
If his opponents include that lunkhead Kinder, probably high chance of a dark horse upset.
Godspeed. Missouri did vote for Santorum and Akin in the primaries, though, so not holding my breath..
Polling has been nonexistent since the suicide, in which Schweich and Hanaway were the two real contenders. My intuition would say that because she has all the money, Hanaway is still the frontrunner, but I don't know if her lead will hold. If Kinder jumps in he would probably attract most of Hanaway's supporters, who see her as damaged goods at the moment. Not a lot of people are paying attention to an election a year and a half away, so it is really hard to gauge support, especially for candidates who have low name recognition. I wish a serious polling firm would take a look at all the major 2016 races so we Missouri politicos could have a better idea of what is happening.
Greitens is definitely a dark horse, but hopefully the right wingers will fall in love with his military background. He might not be conservative enough on domestic issues.
