Anyone else ever see this site?
Has who is running, who they endorse, and how they've voted on key issues.
Here's (http://www.senateconservatives.com) the website.
That and the NRA's grading site are good to peruse.

They endorse Ted Cruz in TX so I'm all for them.

I agree. The tread on Dewhurst's tires are bald from driving through the get-along-with-democrats precincts.
-
Anyone know what Dewhurst's policies are? I'll be damned if I've heard anything other than attacks on Cruz.

No, but the decision has already been made here that the single most important place for any political donations I make this year is to defeat Obamagrrl McCaskill. Our Senate candidate won't be decided until next month, but it's most likely to be Steelman, which is fine with me, she has a sound NRA rating.

I'm favoring Brunner myself. Steelman loves the unions, according to this WSJ article, quoted in part:
By Collin Levy
Missouri may be moving out of swing state territory, turning up the pressure in the Republican Senate primary, where the nominee has a good chance of beating Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill.
The three GOP candidates, businessman John Brunner, Rep. Todd Akin and former Missouri state treasurer Sarah Steelman have been touting their conservative credentials and reaching out to the Tea Party. With the primary six weeks away, Ms. Steelman has been trying to differentiate herself as the "constitutional conservative," but her history is getting her in trouble. As a Missouri state legislator, Ms. Steelman opposed tort reform and was supported by trial lawyers and unions like the Teamsters and the SEIU.

All I get from him is Don't vote for Cruz, vote for me because I say so. :thatsright: Goofball.

At their debate Dewhurst pretty much denied he had ever done anything as Lt Gov. but, he did it in a very conservative way.

Brunner would be perfectly fine with me, but I know Steelman has a lot of political power and connections going into this one, so it won't come as any great surprise to me if she wins it. Akins I don't really know much about.
I don't look for MO to do anything intelligent about becoming a right-to-work state no matter who wins (Though actually having Steelman out of the State process in the US Senate might be a plus for that), the unions are just too much of a factor in this state, and not just at either end of I-70. MO will probably become a right-to-work state about the time it's one of the last seven or eight closed-shop states, and the unemployment rate is stubbornly sticking at half again the average of the forty-plus RTWs. I think that's about what it would take for them to figure it out.
