And in the MC-130E. BLU-82 forever. Now the MOAB, with more bang for
your

Not sure I'd call either one exactly a "CAS" (emphasis on the "close" part)

A question-- why haven't any CAS aircrarft been designed with
turboprops or the pusher varient (I foreget what you call it)?

The Argentinian Pucara is/was a CAS aircraft with turboprops.
