Palin Lays it on Line for Steelman in Missouri

Just what I would expect from an Obama supporter.

You stated “Brunner is far in the lead.” What specific poll are you citing? The Mason-Dixon poll done for the StL. Post-Dispatch?

I rest my case

The only poll that matters is on Tuesday.

See ya then.

Good post, broken clock syndrome.

I guess you are a little shook up.

I think your post to me was intended for donozark

Here, I’ll ping him for you

I was referring to the Senate race in WI, where Santorum
is backing someone different. I should have clarified.
My bad.

Problem with this Huffington tracking poll is that it includes an in-house poll by American Viewpoint. A firm Brunner himself hired. 40%Brunner to 20% Steelman/20% Akin? I know of no one who thinks that will happen.

Maybe Steelman should have done an in-house poll? Then again, she didn't have $8 million of her own $ to invest in her own campaign and self-serving polls as Brunner did.

As I said before, the only poll that counts takes place Tuesday.

You asked for a poll. I gave you six.

You want a poll that says Sarah is winning, therefore you dismiss the poll that says she's not.

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Actually, I asked you for a SPECIFIC poll that showed "...Brunner is far in the lead." This Tracking poll is a compilation of various polls including and in-house poll that Brunner funded himself. All Puffington did was average them out. The inclusion of this self-funded poll skews the result.

But I would agree with you, the only poll that counts is Tuesday. And if Brunner wins by 20 points? I'll eat my hat...Ain't gonna happen.

All my conservative friends are voting for Brunner. I don’t know anyone who is voting for the other two. I suspect a lot of conservative women will vote for Steelman out of sexism.

Of the 6 polls you provided, 4 show Steelman leading. The Public Policy Polling. The self-financed poll by Brunner himself, we've discussed. The other poll by Mason Dixon was commissioned by and paid for by The StL. Post-Dispatch. Brunner is from StL. Obviously the Post-Dispatch would be interested in what their readership has to say.

Most of the Tea Party Express rallies I've been to, where Steelman was present had more men than women. Sexism always plays a part, but not overwhelmingly so in this case.

Look, we're on the same team here. Just disagreeing on starting pitchers...

Thanks for the info.

I never put much stock in polls, so many of them are skewed with the demographic or the cleverly worded questions that can’t be answered with what a poll taker’s real position is.

Most contests are decided by who has the most money.

Look at the millions Romney spent to destroy Conservative contenders, especially compared with what he is spending to exposer Obama.

He won’t touch the Muslim Brotherhood question, and won’t weigh in on the Chick Fil A situation either.

The latter probably because of his bizarre ideas on marriage that he has to believe in order to stay firmily planted in the LDS belief system.

He’s also a behind-the-scenes vicious backstabber, usually having his henchmen do the heavy lifting so he still looks clean and articulate.

Romney is campaigning in Indiana with Mourdock, so many some of Mourdock's conservative credentials will rub off unto Romney. He sure could use 'em!

Back to Missouri...Ma McCaskill has raised over $10 million since 2006. She has over $6 Million in her campaign coffers. And she has not really started to campaign yet! She will get ton$ more via unions, Hollywoodies, liberal orgs. and hucksters.

And Ma benefited greatly by the Republican opponents slicing/dicing each other..

Where did anybody but YOU mention "rich people?"

I think Dewhurst hurt himself by spending millions of his own $$$$ on negative ads that backfired.

LOL good post. Destroying strawman statements!

Well lets hope so!

I was at several tea parties with Mourdock speaking and lots of his supporters in attendance

Money should NOT be such a deciding factor in elections.

That and fraud should be curtailed.

Thanks Dodd (Dud?) and Frank (furter?)

Info for all:

Palin hopes to extend winning streak with Missouri endorsement

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin — though derided on the left and recently dismissed by former vice president Dick Cheney as a poor pick in 2008 — is nevertheless proving her enduring power within the Republican Party in the most concrete of ways: She keeps picking winners. Each of five candidates she has endorsed this year who have faced primaries or other campaigns have won, including former Texas solicitor general Ted Cruz, who Tuesday beat the state’s well-connected lieutenant governor for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. In Palin’s biggest test yet as a kingmaker, she heads Friday to...

Palin to stump for Steelman in Missouri

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...

Where did anybody but YOU mention "rich people?"

I said "Brunner puts his money where his mouth is."

You said "Kind of like Dewhurst in Texas! I think Dewhurst hurt himself by spending millions of his own $$$$ on negative ads that backfired."

Sounds like hatred of "the rich" to me, spoken by someone who denies the obvious.

Steelman and Akin have been doing as much "negative advertising" as they can afford, but since they're both professional politicians they really have honestly earned that much.

You're just bitter that they haven't earned millions of their own money to buy more.

I resent you putting your words into my mouth! You should get your quotes correct if you are going to read minds...which you aren't good at!

FYI, my comment addressed HOW Dewhurst spent his money...NOT that he spent it or how much he spent!

Get your FACTS straight, Bubba!!!
