Gov. Matt Blunt can fill the coffers of the state Republican Party with the $1.9 million remaining in his campaign war chest or dole out donations to GOP candidates across Missouri.Missouri’s campaign finance laws restrict Blunt to the same contribution limits faced by citizens, corporations and political action committees.
