Steelman hoping to raise 25K by midnight tomorrow

Former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman, the only announced Republican candidate for the U. S. Senate seat currently held by Claire McCaskill, has set a goal of raising $25,000 by midnight tomorrow. From her letter to potential contributors:

I wish I was surprised by the vote in the U.S. Senate to ratify the new START treaty, but unfortunately it was predictable that the Senate, controlled by Democrats, would cave to the special interests and the foreign policy elites.  Now the politicians can brag about their “accomplishment” for short-term political gain, but they presented a weak and timid face to the rest of the world.  I was disappointed that my opponent, Senator McCaskill, led the charge on a treaty that was based solely on being agreeable rather than protecting American interests.
 America must remain resolute in purpose, uncompromising in principle, and swift in action.  We negotiate from a position of strength or our enemies won’t take us seriously and our allies won’t trust us.  Senator McCaskill voted to ratify a treaty that diminishes our ability to lead; compromises our ability to verify compliance; and puts our country and our people at greater risk.
 I need your help to spread our message of America’s “unassailable strength.”  I need to raise $25,000 by the end of the year.  Join our fight for freedom by contributing $25 at sarahsteelman.com today.  Your contribution is deeply appreciated.

The first goal was to raise $300,000 by January 1. What happened?

Looks like Ol' Sarah is in for a rough ride.

Sarah's doing great since she got rid of Jeff Roe.

The new team she's brought on will do a much better job. Another so-called unbeatable democrat learned a lesson in the last cycle proctored by this team.

Sarah is using Jeth Ro. Where did you hear she had others running her campaign?

Jim Talent, a former Republican senator from Missouri, incapable of making a living in the private sector, and, setting himself up to run again for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, has isolated himself from Missourians as a fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

Don't run Jim. The job is too demanding for your proven lack of understanding of Missourians and the needs of our nation.
