Steelman Endorses Long, More Political Favors

Former KY3 reporter Dave Catanese announced on Twitter yesterday that Sarah Steelman is breaking her silence in the Seventh District Republican primary, by endorsing Billy Long. Here is the Tweet:

davecatanese "At a fundraiser tonight @Sarah_Steelman breaks anti-endorsement streak to endorse @auctnr1 Billy Long in the #MO7th. about 2 hours ago via UberTwitter"

Many points are to be made on this announcement. First, you need to know that the same man that got Mike Huckabee's endorsement for Long, has done work for Steelman in the past. That is any easy connection to make, as it is obvious that Steelman will gain from a favor for Roe.

Steelman may also believe that being connected to Billy Long will help her down the road. If Long wins the nomination and the race, he would have the ability to help Steelman in 2012 in whichever race she chooses to run in. Despite growing opposition, there is still a chance that the uninformed vote will go towards Long. If enough of the uninformed voters go for name recognition, watch out! Because I don't think enough people have heard of the "Long" list of reasons not to vote for him.

With only 12 days until primary day, the hard work so many have done to educate the voters, will be put to the test.
