And Jay Nixon who will capture disaffected Republican voters in November.

Sarah is talking about tax-payers money, and he is saying what? That her campaign contributions are our money? What is going on? His commercial is just confusing. If their is anyone in Jeff City that is not for sale it is Sarah Steelman, that is not even contestable. I thought that he thought Negative commercials are were bad, I think he has confused himself with his campaign. Has John Hancock lost his mind?

I like Sarah’s ad much more. I wish Kenny and his washinton buddies would stop spending our money, with any luck McCain will win and stop the wasteful earmarks. Even Kenny has said time and again that Washington has failed us, I don’t know if it has hit him yet, he was part of that failed establishment.

Corrupted is spot-on.

Hulshof’s attack on Steelman is just nonsense.

Hulshof must be getting desperate.

Jake,

This is the first post of yours where I didn’t sense your normal hostility towards Steelman. I’m glad you’re getting your anger issues against women worked out. Keep seeing your therapist. No matter how much your buddies make fun of you it’s helping.

Yeah, Steelman doesn’t want the endorsement of other politicians. That’s why at the Republican state convention, when Kit Bond announced his endorsement of Kenny Hulshof, Steelman was in tears when she took the stage. Believe this, if the endorsements had come in the other way, she’d be playing a different tune.

Nick, you don’t have the facts straight about Sarah at the convention. She wasn’t in tears, and went up there and gave a great speech under difficult circumstances. She got quite a response. Also, the point on endorsements is not whether Steelman would prefer to have them or not have them. It is this. Hulshof will do anything to get the establishment behind him. It is the centerpiece of his campaign. “Vote for me, I’m the chosen one.” Sarah is willing to stand up and do what is right, even if it costs her endorsements from the politicians.

Nick Kasoff…

I think you’re making it up as you go along. Here’s a link to the Political Fix article about Steelman’s response to Bonds endorsement.

Your tune keeps changing. Maybe they should hink about hiring you on a music station. You could be the music.

“Who said there are no original thoughts?”

I DO!

John & observer - I was near the center, and about six rows back at the state convention. It was obvious that she was choking back tears. Now let me make something very clear: I don’t wish that on anybody, whether I support them politically or not. Having your state’s senior senator unexpectedly endorse your opponent minutes before you are to make a speech has to be a real kick in the gut.

But reality is, Hulshof didn’t have to “do anything” to get these endorsements. Most political observers can easily see that while Steelman is a sincere conservative and a decent person, Jay Nixon will mop the floor with her. Hulshof is also a sincere conservative and a decent person - and he will throw the hard punches it will take to send Nixon packing.
