I don’t think she or Hulshof ever stood a chance. Not in 2008.
Akin would likely have the full and complete support of the MO GOP. Steelman, unfortunately, is HATED by a good chunk of the party establishment, and it was enough to keep her from beating Hulshof in the primary (and even had she won the nomination for Governor, I think those same people would’ve sat on their hands, and hence Nixon still would’ve won). If that animosity wasn’t there, I’d support her, but we can’t play games with any of these seats.
