White Guy in a Little Coat....

Sarah Steelman, former Missouri state treasurer, gears up to take on Rep. Roy Blunt in the GOP Senate primary to replace the retiring Kit Bond.
In the interview, Steelman took some sharp jabs at Blunt, describing the seven-term congressman Blunt as being part of the “old-boys' network” who has spent too much time in Washington.

“Roy Blunt is another white guy in a suit, and I think the public wants change,” Steelman said. “There’s a good old boys’ network out there that’s hard to penetrate… and it’s not always in the best interest of the party or for conservative principles.”

File that one under "if a Democrat said it, it'd be tarred racist". Anyway, Steelman narrowly lost a brutal primary last cycle to Rep. Kenny Hulshof, who went on to be defeated in the general gubernatorial election. Looks like she's got plenty of fire for another bid for higher office.

  1. Aren't white guys in suits basically the entire GOP constituency?
