'On the mound for the Republicans, fireballing righthander Matt Blunt -- the Boy Guv -- .  Blunt, winds to the stretch, and here comes the pitch to the Dem's big thumper, 'Say Hey' Jay Nixon, the A.G, and it's a sharp breaking ball on the outside corner at the knees, strike three called!  Oh, what a pitch from the Boy Guv, and the Big Thumper is left standing at the plate with his bat on his shoulder!  Wow!!'

Yes, folks, Jay was pounding on the front door with all he had, this investigation and that, this charge and that, ramping up for his big run, planning to trample the Boy Guv in a mad rush to the Governor's Manse, but when he got in the house, what did he find?  Nothing at all, for the Boy Guv had outwitted his nemesis, leaving the 'empty tomb,' for the governor had simply walked calmly out the back door, leaving Jay to sing the Resurrection Blues!  

During his press conference Wednesday, Governor Blunt said at least twice Democrats have wasted three years attacking the wrong man.  Republicans still have nine months to field a strong candidate:  Democrats have to be saying, 'hey, wait a minute here.'

But there is to be no waiting, for the Boy Guv has left the house, and the Democrats' punching bag is now as empty as last year's pinata.
