Patch Political Potpourri

Steelman's Legislative Support Gets Attention

Aides to Frontenac businessman John Brunner ding Steelman on previous statements on legislative endorsements.

Back when she ran for governor in 2008, then-state Treasurer Sarah Steelman sent out a press release touting the support of non-elected individuals. It was meant as a jab of sorts against U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, a Columbia Republican who had scooped up support from elected officials across the state. Flash forward four years later, and Steelman is running for the U.S. Senate seat. In a crowded primary, she's considered one of three credible candidates for the chance to face off against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri). This time around, Steelman has some advantages. She's the only candidate to run statewide out of a field that includes Rep. Todd Akin (R-Wildwood) and Frontenac businessman John Brunner. She also is the most visible …

Republicans Reflect as GOP Caucus Process Nears Conclusion

St. Charles County caucuses sparked nationwide coverage.

Missouri’s first round of caucuses are now over, leaving behind a virtual trail of tranquility and chaos.

Former Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) appeared on KSDK on Sunday, for instance, and described the process in a rather negative light. So what happens …

Santorum is Crowned Mr. Missouri in Republican 'Beauty Contest'

Santorum more than doubles Romney's vote total; however primary victory doesn't mean Missouri is his.

If Tuesday’s presidential primary was nothing but a Republican beauty contest, then Rick Santorum was crowned Mr. Missouri and Mr. Congeniality. Santorum cruised to an easy 30-percentage point win over Mitt Romney, and received more than half the Republican vote in the state. “Conservatism is alive in Missouri and Minnesota,” Santorum told the crowd attending his victory party at the St. Charles Convention Center. “I hope you have been listening to our message. Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama,” Santorum said in his victory speech. Santorum said he isn’t claiming to be the conservative alternative to Romney, but he is claiming to be the conservative alternative to Obama. With 99.6 percent of the precincts reporting, the …

Christine, do you plan on participating in the caucus? That is the best way to support one candidate over another. Also, can you link up an article or youtube video to back up your statement? I prefer to base my opinions based on facts I can verify, rather than rumor. Chris, thank you for your years of service to our country to preserve our freedoms--it is appreciated.   more ›
