JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - On the weekend before his State of the State address, Governor Blunt met with his campaign team for a strategic retreat near Branson. Blunt's trusted advisers discussed a fundraising goal that could have shattered the state record, developed a TV ad blitz to begin airing before spring and honed a campaign message. The group was confident and ready for a competitive challenge from Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon. So those in his inner circle say they were shocked when just 10 days later Blunt announced his exit from governor's race. The Associated Press confirmed Blunt's campaign retreat with multiple participants.
