Steelman: I'm the one with the best chance of beating Jay Nixon

In an e-mail to supporters, Sarah Steelman says she would support Kenny Hulshof if he wins, but that she is the one who has the best chance of beating Jay Nixon in November:

I am often asked if I would support my opponent if he should win the primary. The answer I always give is that I don’t want Jay Nixon to be Governor. I know that on this, we agree. But I also know that the best way to keep Jay Nixon out of the Governor’s Mansion is for me to be his opponent come November. He can’t attack me for bad votes in Washington. He can’t tie me to poor congressional approval ratings. He can’t say I am out of touch with Missourians. It will be hard for him to attack me at all.
