I’m fine with Brunner, Ann Wagner or Sarah Steelman.
They and the Chambers of Commerce supported his candidacy as best for economic freedom from Obama and high-tax liberals!
Everyone, please pay attention. There have been a wide array of articles here on FR and initially we knew nothing of the specifics of the laws. What we know now with a relative degree of certainty is that neither Brunner or Steelman are eligible in any way to take the spot before the election, so that is no longer an issue.
True to some that we throw the dice on Akin but that has more long range problems than those monumental immediate ones of being able to defeat McCaskill. My view is that someone knew about his stance from which he uttered that idiotic remark about rape. The questioner, in my view, was given a heads up just as the Dems put the ads out there to help in getting him to run against. The worst part, if he were to win, is what else is in those cloak room discussions that they can use to sway his vote on any issue or go public with them as well?
If he is negotiating a reasonable replacement to those on this forum, good for him. If not, then get someone like Bond to accept the write-in if Akin won’t get out of the way and defeat both Akin and McCaskill. Considering Akin will wither on the political vine, as the vote gets closer those who support him on the principle notion will face the reality of McCaskill winning unless they do the prudent thing to insure a Republican victory.
Then God willing, Spence is elected Governor and sometime shortly after taking office Bond retires due to health and the Governor appoints the runner up in the primary, in this case Brunner, and all is corrected. Steelman just loses out, that is reality.
