Palin is pushing Steelman to a 3rd party ticket.
It’s the only real option.
A write in won’t work.

Bottom line is if Akin loses it was all Akin.

“Palin is pushing Steelman to a 3rd party ticket.

It may be no option at all.

Does not Missouri have some kind of “sore loser” law regarding primaries?

That is, those who run (and lose) in their party’s primary are barred from then running as “independents” or “3rd-party” candidates?

I’m not from Missouri, will those from there please confirm this or correct me?

If this is the case, Akin is “locked into” the Republican ballot and those who ran against him in the Republican primary can’t run at all for the same office, in this election cycle...
