Steelman came in third. Palin was wrong.

Sarah Palin's Ping List

[Charles Henrickson]

I don’t know anything about Steelman – I did not follow the race closely. . . .

I did follow the race, and I'm here in Missouri. Steelman finished third in the primary. She was not a strong candidate. She lost the governor primary four years ago. She lost the Senate primary this year. She's not all that.

[silentreignofheroes]

Don’t think she’s the type.

[Sarah Barracuda]

It’s not in Sarah’s nature to say “I told you so” she wont say it..she is probably devastated by this, seeing the MO Senate seat that was practically ours for the taking almost totally out of reach now. She knows what this means, she knows that the chances of defeating Obamacare just went out the window

[Fresh Wind]

Akin has a 97.24 lifetime rating from the ACU. Is that suddenly a problem?

[LS]

I wish Steelman had won, but you’re stretching it. Palin’s pick came in #3, and if she had any real clout at all, Palin would be able to convince this dolt to quit. In short, Palin’s reach is deep, but not very wide.

[Snickering Hound]

Should have listened to the hot chick...

[Tupelo]

Be Careful Greta. The Loyalist here will rake you over the coals for saying anything bad about THEIR NOMINEE Todd Akin. And God help you if you say Palin was right.

[RichInOC]

I’d say Brunner’s and Steelman’s supporters both do. If I were those two, I’d work something out between themselves and the party.

Now we know why Missouri is the Show Me state. With their stupid open primary, the Mo. GOP has shown how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and very probably cost the GOP control of the Senate, absolutely crucial to the future of the country. We deserved better.

[Mr. K]

The democraps are drooling too much over this

They are already talking it up like they have won because of one stupid thig a Republican says, but the GOP are NOT getting 100% defacto support for tossing him under the bus

In fact, it seems like A lot of people are starting to get PO’s that the democraps can say anything, but if a GOP candidate is less than perfect- out we toss them.

And it is not sitting well, with me included.

I dont like what he said any more than anyone else here, but it is not like he advocates killing babies who survive an abortion (like Obama) or votes to protect partial birth abortion (like Obama)

IF Akin survies this he need to turn it onto an attack on the baby killers - He said something stupid- they kiull babies- which is worse?

And the spineless GOP leadership lets the libs tell us what to do every time we have a hiccup

[John D]

The ONE ISSUE religious right along with the dems got him in there. Two groups that cost Republicans more elections than any other.

[newzjunkey]

On Mark Levin’s radio show, the GOP party chair (Reince Priebus) just said that Palin was offered speaking time in the prime time slot (between 8pm-11pm) and she declined citing scheduling issues.

[biggredd1]

it was an OPEN primary, communists could vote for republicans. Also the communist claire McCommie spent $2M to support akin winning.

[SarahPalinForPresident2012]

Only Gov Palin can save America. She is our greatest political intellect ever.

[hawaiianninja]

This is practically all water under the bridge to a point. And I doubt Mrs. Palin would bother to say such a comment.

Now that Akin is still in, what's a Conservative, or for that matter, a Republican, in MO to do? Pout and whine, like a typical elite Republican, and let McCaskill (and the Dems and the O) get away with a win in their state?

Now that Akin has resolved to stay in, I hope and pray that Conservative Missourians and the Akin's campaign figures out a way to turn things around and turn it around fast.

Frankly, the first thing Akin really needs now is a better advisor for image and damage control.
