Fired Up! Missouri -"Every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor edge of danger and must be fought for,whether it’s a field, or a home, or a country." ~Thornton WilderBlaine "Things Are Headed In the Right Direction" Leutkemeyer- September 17, 2008 What more can be saidhttp://www.firedupmissouri.com/leutkemeyer_right_direction A quick look back at Steelman's opinion of Hushlof- September 17, 2008 I was surfing a little in the Governor's race and ran across some old primary election coverage. I ran across a few articles that might give us some idea of where Nixon will find more amunition if Kenny ever climbs above the 40% mark. Here's a good one where Sarah says Holfsof broke federal law by not showing up to work. The Nixon ad would say: Republican State Treasurer Sarah Steelman says "Hulshofs chronic absenteeism also raises questions about whether he is.http://www.firedupmissouri.com/node/7636 Baseless: Hulshof still toiling to secure base in southwest Missouri- September 17, 2008 With poll after poll showing Jay Nixon beating Kenny Hulshof by up to 15 percentage points, Peter Kinder whispering to GOP funders that Hulshof's goose is cooked and Sarah Steelman offering non-endorsement endorsements, Kenny Hulshof is spending his time talking to critical swing voters in suburban St. Louis talking to GOP base voters in southwest Missouri who supported Sarah Steelman.Hulshof will spend Thursday in the GOP stronghold of Cedar County--- where Sarah Steelman beat him by 22...http://www.firedupmissouri.com/node/7635 Thompson Won't Stump for Kenny; Hulshof Spurned by Man After Whom His Campaign Is Modeled- September 17, 2008 According to the online calendar of the state Republican Party, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson will be making a stop in Joplin today to do a campaign event for Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder.How very strange that abortive Presidential candidate and Hulshof campaign model Fred Thompson should come to Missouri to do an event for Kinder while neglecting to do an event for GOP ticket-topper Kenny Hulshof. This is doubly bizarre since Thompson's over-hyped Presidential candidacy has..http://www.firedupmissouri.com/thompson_visits_for_kinder_not_kenny Congressman Kenny Losing the Next Race While Still Losing This One- September 16, 2008 There was always the chance, in the view of establishment Republicans (and probably in the back of Kenny's own mind), that the Governor's race was too far gone once Matt Blunt had done his worst and then fled the scene on short notice. For that reason there were plenty of MOGOPers who thought that Kenny Hulshof might well lose the 2008 governor's race but at least set himself up for another run --perhaps for a vacant U.S. Senate seat-- two years down the road. Now that the...http://www.firedupmissouri.com/kenny_losing_the_next_one_now Cut and Run: Kinder suggesting GOP funders abandon Hulshof and reinforce his bunker- September 15, 2008 With poll after poll showing Jay Nixon beating Kenny Hulshof by 15 points, Peter Kinder is reportedly whispering to GOP funders that they should cut their losses with Kenny Hulshof and redirect their largess... to him.No word on when Kinder will update his Eulogy for the GOP and explain that it really is all about him.http://www.firedupmissouri.com/node/7628 RGA says Hulshof is a Bridge to Nowhere- September 15, 2008 Recent polls show that Nixon's lead over Hulshof has increased since Hulshof's post-primary bump with Nixon expanding his advantage from 11 points in early August to 15 points in early September, a statistically significant jump. So it comes as no suprise that the Republican Governors Association is dropping Hulshof like the Bridge to Nowhere that Hulshof supported and all Republicans are now against.
