What is all this establishment talk of Jim Talent replacing him on the ballot? That makes no sense when there are two conservatives that ran neck and neck with him in the primary. It would seem to me that choosing Jim Talent might really piss of the base and then we still lose the seat.
What is the big deal about Talent? Why do people want him on the ballot when he didn’t even run in the primary? Something stinks and it smells like GOPe.
The pubs are on fire to snuff out Akin but wouldn’t dare even ask Obama if he was ever a citizen of Indonesia, let alone define what a natural born citizen is. So I am no longer Republican and they will never see another dime from me ever.
I agree. I think it would look better to just toss a coin, between Brunner and Steelman. Easier for all the parties to accept the outcome. Installing some old-guard establishment geezer out of a smoky back-room isn’t particularly a recipe for enthusiasm these days. And it would be a slight against two candidates who actually made the effort and put a lot of work into their campaigns.
Talent lost the seat because of that idiot Rush Limbaugh going after Michael J. Fox for allegedly feigning his Parkinson’s symptoms.
Talent is a loser.
Leave him behind.
And you thought the party elitists would write Steelman or Brunner in??? They disdain them almost as they do Akin. I think you are beginning to get the picture though.
McCaskill defeated Talent last time around.
