What are the specific statutes in as far as getting a third-party candidate on the ballot. It would seem to me that since Akin has until Sept. 25 to drop out and the costs of changing the ballot laid on the party/Akin, then that must mean that the ballot is open for changes until that date. BUT there may have been a deadline for a third-party candidate to have filed with the proper amount of signatures. Any clues out there?

I do not really know, and could easily stand corrected. But, I think Steelman is prohibited from a third-party run under Missouri’s “sore party” loser statute.

Steelman and Brunnan can't run as write-ins.

As a social-conservative... I don't put a lot of stock on "politicians." And this one, seems to be an idiot who can not manage his mouth and on top of everything else, seems to be an ARROGANT and SELFISH... or should I say "Extra-Selfish," politician, and that is really bad.

I hope social-conservatives don't fall for this idiot....
