I really have no dog in this race. Of the three candidates who may win, my first choice is Sarah Steelman, as I think that she would rally the rural vote, but I would have no problem with John Brunner or Todd Akin being a U.S. Senator. All three are second-tier candidates, but all three would be at least a 50/50 bet to unseat the unpopular McCaskill. None are favorites of the establishment types, most of whom are sitting this primary out.
50-50! Good grief! If we lose this one we're S.O.L.!
This race should be and hopefully will be an easy pickup. We have a strong field, three good conservatives with establishment ties.
I’m still mystified why you think that a former State Treasurer and a current Congressman are second-tier candidates.
I hope one of them wins and not Brunner who lead in the last primary poll I saw.
I’m also confused why some people think Steelman is a RINO while others think she’s the second coming.
I’d vote for Akin if I lived in the state.
Recovery is not impossible but right now McCrapskull would lose for sure to any of the 3.
Just saw this. Akin and Steelman are first-tier (as is Brunner, by reason of his $$). If they’re not, nobody in MO is.
