October 31, 2005 -- According to Deb Peterson's column in Sunday's Post-Dispatch, State Senate Minority Leader Maida Coleman is still "waffling on the decision" to run in the Democratic primary for state auditor.
As we reported last week, Coleman told an Associated Press reporter that she was in the race. She has also told friends and a few close supporters that she is running. But when asked by Peterson and other Post reporters, she is less clear.
The Post also reports that Coleman said the current state auditor, Claire McCaskill, who is now running for U.S. Senate, told her that she would support her. But some say McCaskill is backing another candidate, wealthy Buchanan County Auditor Susan Montee, who recently jumpstarted her campaign with a personal loan of a half million dollars.
That's about 500,000 reasons that Sen. Coleman may be rethinking her decision.
