Steelman’s in

And then there were two: State Treasurer Sarah Steelman said Friday afternoon that she will run for governor.

A release sent by her campaign said that Steelman will formally announce tomorrow morning at the home of Tom and Leigh Anne Hearne in Springfield.

Steelman’s decision is a 180 from her much-anticipated announcement on Tuesday that she’s staying pat in her re-election campaign. Many had anticipated that her “major campaign announcement” would be that she was throwing her hat in the ring for the state’s chief executive job.

Great news!! I realize that there could be others but I definitely think that Steelman is a stronger candidate than Kinder.

This changes everything. Hulshoff out, Jetton in, Emerson still? Carnahan in? It also changes the Lt. Govenors race, Loudon now runs for Treasuer (a better fit for him and everybody knows he can’t beat Jackson) Jackson runs unopposed in St. Louis and wins big. What does this all mean for Jay Nixon and Page? Oh my, The Missouri Democratic party is in turmoil.

If Hulshoft is serious about being Governor, why hasn’t he come home instead of living it up at the Greenbrier Resort?

What is the state coming to if we elect Steelman? Come on, is that as good as it gets?

MEMO

To: The Renegades (Jeff Roe and the Steelmans’)
From: The Republican Faithful
Date: 01/26/08
RE: A Few Observations

Dear Jeff-

It was with much pain and sorrow that I read today how you single-handedly, against the advice of just about everybody in the party, in a vain and futile bid to get gather more power to yourself, actually convinced a political ‘lightweight’ (I use that term generously here) like Sarah Steelman, that it would be a great idea for her to run for Governor, David must really been “asleep at the wheel” to allow you to slip that one past him! Setting aside the obvious concerns about her dubious past in Jefferson City or her inability to string more than two or three sentences together coherently when speaking in public, I think the lack of any legislative or executive accomplishments (other than the terror-free investment stuff, but is that really all the agenda/vision you want to run on?) and any kind of effective statewide organization will quickly doom this ill-conceived venture before it gets off the ground.

I guess I have to say that I thought that I could expect more from an experienced political operative like yourself, that you would put the needs of the party over your own selfish ends, but then again we do have you to thank when it came to the likes of stellar candidates such as Sandra Thomas and Chris Koster, so forward ho Jeff, I just hope your not a very lonely man come August!

Removed a post because it made unsubstantiated allegations of a personal nature. Let’s stay off that path, folks.

Andy at #2: Worst analysis of the day. The Missouri Democratic Party is in turmoil because the GOP is scrambling at the last minute to come up with someone, anyone to take on Nixon? The Dems are sitting pretty at the moment, certainly more so than they usually are.

I wouldn’t vote for Loudon for Treasurer, or dog catcher either. He’s been my State Senator, and he actually makes my Congressman Todd Akin look smart.
