“Steelman will run for the chance to replace Claire McCaskill in a tough Republican primary,”

So, McCaskill is running in the Republican primary?

Odd. . .I didn’t get the memo McCaskill changed parties.

Latest poll I have (Feb.1) shows Steelman-32%, Akin 23%, Brunner 18%. Public Policy Polling. "Air-Claire" has approx. $5 million in her campaign coffer.

Sarah Steelman is a knife fighter. Unfortunately, when she ran for Gov. in '08 she disemboweled her Republican opponent in Primary. He in turn, curb-stomped her. As a result, Jay Nixon (D) became Gov. of Missouri. I watched her debate Rep. Akin this time around. Both seemed much more "friendly." Going after Obi rather than each other.

Don't know much about Brunner. A StL. bu$ne$$ man. He's pumped more than a million into his campaign but has refused to participate in debates, too date.

Both Akin/ Steelman strong supporters of 2nd Amendment. Steelman also has spoken out strongly in favor of Right to Work legislation. Unions already going after her. I call that a good thing...
