Ever Eat Crow? I am now. I went to the Sarah Steelman Site. She is Pro Life Anti-all the bad stuff Take a look! If she has to go thire party, I think she should. You see, there was a Governor who mabe two parties so he could win in Connecticut in 1992. He was the guy who said "adding an income tax to our state at this time is like pouring gasoline on the fires of inflation." He then shut down the state parks for the rest of the year including JULY 4th.

She also served as a consultant for Empowerment Financial Group and taught a political science class in leadership and public policy change at Missouri State University in their Executive in Residence program.
As i understand it, she cant run under Missouri law after losing the primary.
Then you lock those interesting choices in place with a "No sore losers" law which prohibits other candidates who didn't make it through the primary from running in the general election.
Eventually you end up with nothing but droolers and idiots running and winning office ~ take a look at what's happened in Washington State ~ they now have the two all time stupidest US senators!
Missouri is at the tipping point ~ this McCaskill's family history and that of her Carnahan counterpart read like the Kallikak family, and all I can say is three generations of idiocy is three too many !
None of those people have ever had a real job, and I'm just guessing that's because they are otherwise unemployable.
Can someone find out if that's true?
Not based on what I read. Not unless the winning primary candidate withdraws from the race, then it’s open.
How about as an independant?
Sarah P should be up on that.
No, not unless he withdraws. There are lots of posts on this.
