Sarah Palin will spend her Friday evening at a picnic in rural Missouri where she'll serve food with Sarah Steelman, aiming to give the former state treasurer a final leg up in one of the country's hottest primary races for U.S. Senate.

Mrs. Steelman has spent the last few months in a fierce three-way battle for the GOP nomination with former Rep. Todd Akin and St. Louis businessman John Brunner. The winner will face Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in the fall.

With only a few days left before Tuesday's primary, the candidates are canvassing the state...

Please see #28 and 60.

Maldonado looks pretty much like a newcomer to politics, and is much too unknown to win the primary and then go on to beat McCaskill.

Conservative Tea Party Conservative political analysts have vetted Steelman pretty well and believe that she is the best hope for the Senate race.

Sure, Steelman as a conservative may not be 100%, but she is called “the Sarah Palin of Missouri.” That is pretty conservative.

Here's a quote from the Chief Strategist from the Tea Party Express:

Todd Akin is a good conservative Congressman, but (has) no experience as a statewide candidate. So don’t think he can win.

Brunner is an unknown who has never run before (and) doesn’t seem to be firmly grounded.

It seems like Sarah Steelman is the best one to support in this primary.

Interesting. A lot of people around her consider her just part of the establishment. I admit I didn’t know she was a thorn in the party’s side. I need to check that out. Thanks. Personally. I don’t care which one wins, they’re all so much better that what we’ve got!

Thanks for the info! It does seem everyone is “jumping” on the conservative bandwagon, and jumping off the GOP-e and commie boat.

It’s a bright sign in this dark world. =)

[donozark]

What we got now is nothin’! HAHA! The soon to be retired Ma McCaskill. Although she does have $6 million in cash in her war chest. And the unions/Hollywoodies/etc.

[Syncro]

Yep a lot are!

Even dems, although with them it is usually just opportunizm

I'm hoping to dissuade people from voting for those other than Steelman.

Lots of bogus stuff posted about her on this thread.

The GOP-e is getting their butts handed to them quite a bit lately.

Rove et al must be a bit verklempt right about now.

I'm about to post a thread about a small/short TPX tour in Wisconsin in support of a Senate candidate there...

[NoGrayZone]

Yay! Could you please ping me when you do?

Is this website steelmanfacts.com false?

It is put out by Todd Akin’s campaign.
