Initially I thought Mourdock was vastly preferable to the decrepit Lugar.....then Mourdock put his foot in his mouth handing the seat over to the Democrats. Missouri is even more inexplicable. Sarah Palin and many conservatives supported an attractive candidate, the former state treasurer Sarah Stedman, but it looks like the Dems played games in the primary crossing over to vote for the weakest of GOP candidates assuring the re-election of the highly vulnerable Claire McCaskill.

Wow...some political myths to debunk.
Sarah Steelman finished THIRD in the Missouri GOP primary. She lost by double digits to Akin.....and lost to Bruner...who had little support. Contrary to the Akin bashing Myths....Steelman was the “insider” as she had most of the Missouri GOP insiders supporting her. Steelman sounds more like a female Marco Rubio
Sarah Palin made a poor pick for the primary...a candidate that could not win. Steelman would not have beaten McCaskill, Steelman could not even get 1/3 of the GOP vote in the primary
Had PhonyCon Liberals not gotten so whiny-assed liberal over a comment that Akin repeatedly apologized for...he would be Senator today
