Palin to stump for Steelman in Missouri
The Washington Times ^ | August 2, 2012 | Paige Winfield Cunningham

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...

I will also. I think Todd Akin is the best of the three.

I am glad you posted this. I am still voting for Todd Akin. He is the most conservative of the ones running. I have heard from Republican friends that Sarah isn’t That conservative. She likes to spend. Regardless, if she wins it, I’ll vote for her in Nov. Claire is abhorant!

The Tea Party Express is on it. Check out the ad link below.

We must take our momentum from the Ted Cruz victory and focus it on Tea Party Express endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Sarah Steelman
.
We have been telling you about conservative U.S. Senate candidate Sarah Steelman since the Tea Party Express endorsed her earlier this year.  We believe that the former Missouri State Treasurer is the best candidate to take on and defeat ultra-liberal incumbent Claire McCaskill. 

With all of the political world's focus on the Senate election in Texas, which resulted in Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz's victory, the Missouri race has been over-shadowed.  We are sounding the alarm that the election is this Tuesday - 4 DAYS FROM NOW!

In some respects, the Missouri U.S. Senate race is even more important as we have a shot to take out an ultra-liberal incumbent in Claire McCaskill and take control of the Senate.  While most of our staff and resources were focused on Texas, we have been concurrently running TV ads statewide in Missouri for conservative Sarah Steelman over the past week. 
.
.
.

We need to send representatives to Washington D.C. that recognize that our federal government has a spending problem and that take their job duties seriously.    Sarah Steelman is just that person and we need your support to help her defeat out of touch Sen. McCaskill.  Please make a contribution today.

Tea Party Express Endorsed Missouri Senate Candidate Sarah Steelman
>
Liberal Sen. McCaskill is vulnerable as Americans are fed up with her strong support of Pres. Obama's efforts to grow the size and control of the Federal Government in Washington.  McCaskill can not run on her record, but her large fundraising war-chest will go a long way in attacking and maligning her conservative opponent - former Missouri State Treasurer Sarah Steelman.

Sarah is the perfect candidate to replace Sen. Claire McCaskill, one of Washington’s most liberal senators and we need your support to make sure that she represents the Tea Party in Washington D.C.
SARAH TIMES TWO!

Obama ally and liberal Democratic Sen. McCaskill has got to go!

One of Tea Party Express’ top priorities in 2012 is to elect a conservative majority to the U.S. Senate, and we are confident that Sarah Steelman is the candidate in Missouri best suited for the job.

Steelman’s unabashed economic conservative record combined with the experience of running statewide races has prepared her to take on Senator McCaskill in what will be a tough race. We must defeat McCaskill in November, and we are ready to fight alongside Sarah in the coming months. Her early and strong support four years ago for Barack Obama revealed her true liberal inclinations to grow the government in Washington.
.
Americans are demanding real solutions to the fiscal woes facing our nation. Sarah Steelman’s understanding of the economy and experience managing Missouri’s $19 billion annual revenue and over $3 billion in investments in the state’s portfolio have prepared her to tackle the issues McCaskill has failed to address during her past 5 years in Washington.

Eagle-you asked for a ping if someone had some facts on Sarah Steelman...

She has been endorsed by:

Maggie's List-Goal is to elect conservative women

Susan B. Anthony-Pro-Life

Tea Party Express

48 conservative Missouri Congressmen.

Steelman is a Board member of the Missouri Club for Growth. She is, and has been a STRONG supporter of RKBA. Strong supporter of NRA/GOA.

She favors MAJOR tax reform. Not a mere tweaking of the system.

Sounds conservative to me...

If they are against her, Steelman must be against illegal immigration.

I met Hector in my small town 4 years ago. Seemed like a decent guy I could vote for.

Most everyone I know says Steelman is the least conservative & they wish Palin had done a better job researching. I’ve also heard she is a poor speaker & there is concern about her ability to debate. That being said, any of us will gladly vote for whoever wins the nomination. In Southeast Missouri Brunner appears to be way ahead. He’s a good man & not a politician. Steelman is not trusted to stand up against the party.........

Steelman’s husband is a trial lawyer & it’s my understanding that as a State Senator she voted against tort reform..........she is more of a wishy washy conservative, apparently.......

I hope Steeleman is worth Palin’s efforts!

She has a soft spot for women candidates over males.
