Steelman about to jump into U. S. Senate race

It appears Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt is about to have competition in the race to succeed Kit Bond in the U. S. Senate.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Political Fix reports Mrs. Steelman is forming an exploratory committee, the first step toward entering the race:

Considering the effect Mrs. Steelman's campaign attacks on Kenny Hulshof had in branding him as a Washington insider, this can't be good news for Blunt, the ultimate Washington insider.

Blunt's campaign is totally unraveling from the inside. There is no campaign manager and no one doing any of the actual work it takes to run a successful campaign.

Roy's years of living the high life in Washington have impaired his judgement and ability to run a good campaign and listen to the right people.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him lose in the primary and I fully expect him to lose in the general.
