From 24th State blog:
The more I watch the battle between Steelman and Hulshof, the more I like Steelman. Hulshof’s campaign is a bit smarmy. You can tell he’s been in Washington too long. He’s probably great friends with Kit Bond and Roy Blunt, our powerful, pork-happy senator and congressman. Well, I say enough. Steelman may not be most polished pol out there, but I like her in the latest commercials. I don’t like it when someone calls my money taxpayers money. We have a giant surplus, and the only one I trust not to spend it is Steelman.
Hulshof, on the other hand, was one of the Republican legislators who refused to sign the House pledge to uphold a veto of earmark-laden spending. The comment at the time was that Hulshof wanted to think each vote through, and not sign a pledge ahead of time.
Add in the fact that the Post-Dispatch weighed in for Hulshof, and it’s a done deal. Read more…

Yes, Steelman may not win against Nixon, but some times we have to stand up for the right canidate with the right values instead of the one the party power brokers want in office. Go get’em Sarah!
