There is a lot of grass roots support for a couple of the candidates.. Will things turn up side down if Steelman runs for 7th? Yeah.

I would add that it probably will drive KY3 reporter David Catanese crazy because at that point its Roy v Robin and we can start talking about SUBSTANCE instead of the rumor mill.. and that dries up his ammo box.

With that said, I would urge you to research the 7th a little more before drawing conclusions. Remember you are talking about my home district.

I was hired for one of the candidates (Jack Goodman) who is a hard core conservative – even more so than Sarah.

I would also add that all her bagging on Roy might have hurt her chances down here – people in the district love Roy.. We know a lot of what she was saying about him was wrong.

In either case, just know im biased about the matter.

…good at playing the game of keeping her name in the headlines (or at least the ones that political junkies like us read) so she has name recognition for a different run later.

Is, of course, not an entirely bad thing. We do, IMO, have to do a better job of positioning our Conservative (first choice) Candidates for future runs as I’ve tried to advocate all over RS (here’s one: using Primaries to build up future candidates) and ask Are we preparing Conservatives via 2010 Campaigns for ’12,’14,’16 Races? – shouldn’t we be?!?! there. These things should be done, of course, cooperatively!!!! I’m not sure quick occasional posturing for periodic MSM mentions does enough. Rubio in FL could have and IMO should have been in a better position so we could have had an unquestioned Conservative Candidate poised to be beyond reproach to be challenged, and even if so no worries/concern they (in this case/example Rubio) would be the sure Primary and then eventual General Election Winner.

Anything short of preparing our Conservative Candidates to be in position, well-known, pre-built STATE-WIDE campaign committees, pre-paved Financial access to the donors lists across States via former connections (rather than having to develop them on the spot and/or real time), etc…. OR the MSM will just play it up (see how with: The “Pretend you’re a Liberal MSM reporter (and Spin the story)” Challenge) to be nothing but (simple divide and conquer us tactics) MSM uses snippets out of context to feed Republican in-fighting narrative additional commentary on that here (speaking out against SoSo discussion) and Media feeding Republican infighting issues we seem so easily prone to being suckered into!

Cynically, I (and likely bs) should remind you that Steelman is very good at playing the game of keeping her name in the headlines (or at least the ones that political junkies like us read) so she has name recognition for a different run later.
