This is a good sign. If elected, Steelman will be a great Senator.

They should have said she is leading all other Republican candidates...someone not familiar with Missouri politics might read that to think she is a Democrat.

Whatever we need to do to put conservatives first and then Republicans second into the office, it'll be good for the nation.

I am a supporter of Romney, even though I know a lot of people here hate him.

But every Republican president of my life time (Nixon was the first) would have been helped with conservatives running the legislature...and yes, that includes Ronald Reagan.

I think the current Oval Office occupant is erasing the notion that the activist, powerful executive is a good thing. The notion that the executive must be counterbalanced with a strong legislature is rapidly gaining weight with the electorate...the citizens see Obamugabe abusing his power (they didn't see Dubya doing that, by the way) and they want someone to say "STOP!" So, we had 2010.

This coming election may very well have a Republican President elected with a Republican legislature unlike the one we saw with Dubya...one where the power is more balanced--one with a moderated President but a more conservative Congress.

That'll be a good thing, if the Congress realizes their mandate.

BUMP for excellence.

It’s all over for Claire in Missouri. She has her mother doing commercials for her. That’s a sign of desperation.

MO has moved ahead of ND and MT in the order of likely pickups.
