Most conservatives I know are voting Randles but I think it will be difficult to defeat Nixon. I’ve been all over the place when it comes to the Senate race. According to some of the ratings I’ve seen lately Akin is the most conservative Republicam Mo. has in D. C. The 8th District is supposed to be the most conservative district in the state yet Emerson is rated the most liberal Republican. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.....

If you want to see what a Liberal Rag endorsing a RINO candidate looks like, read the KC Star's endorsement of Dave Spence:

He [Dave Spence] has made some campaign gaffes, and questions linger about his tenure on the board of a bank that opted not to repay a federal loan that was part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. But he understands that Missouri lags behind the rest of the nation in many important measures, including funding for colleges and universities. And he is flexible enough to note that, while he wants to see income taxes reduced over the long term, the state budget can’t absorb more losses at the moment.
Spence is challenged by Bill Randles, a Kansas City lawyer who is prone to extreme positions, such as calling for elimination of the state income tax and a move to a statewide school voucher system.

Eliminating the income tax is "extreme?" Like those "extreme" states Texas, Florida, & Tennessee? Statewide school vouchers... wow what a "radical" concept; giving parents more control over their childrens' education. These are CONSERVATIVE positions. The KC Star DID NOT endorse Randles BECAUSE he is a CONSERVATIVE, and elected to endorse Spence because his is a RINO.

The Post-Dispatch endorsement, in contrast, IDENTIFIES Bill as the true conservative candidate:

Mr. Spence told us that he believes that Mr. Randles is a little farther to the right than he is. That may be because, unlike Mr. Spence, Mr. Randles has the courage of his convictions and outlines his clear positions on issues.
[...]
[Randles will] challenge Jay Nixon, the Democratic incumbent, to defend his policies, something with which Mr. Nixon sometimes struggles.
[...]
Mr. Spence, meanwhile, when we pushed for specifics on his policies, told us: "I don't want to go into great detail because at some point somebody will use that against me."

Who do you think that "someone" is? Conservatives, that's who.
