Schoeller "Feels Pressure" To Endorse

Springfield freshman Rep. Shane Schoeller says he's feeling pressure from fellow Republican colleagues to endorse for President, but hasn't made up his mind yet.

After a public meeting for a road project in northwest Springfield Monday, Schoeller told the KY3 Political Notebook he has narrowed down his potential candidates to two.

"I think it's going to be between (Mitt) Romney and (Fred) Thompson," Schoeller said. "I'm getting a lot of pressure from the party to come out and endorse, but I'm just not ready. But if I do, it'll be either Romney or Thompson. Between those two," he said.

Schoeller also handicapped the Democratic field.

"I think if they don't get (John) Edwards, they are going to be in trouble," Schoeller said of the Democrats, implying that frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama aren't electable in a national contest.

Actually, it shows us once again that Slimey Schoeller is out of touch with Missouri values.

I am suprised he is even considering endorsing a man who practices the teaching of Joseph Smith.

I think he'll endorse Thompson... but Romney his second choice?! There are several other candidates I would have expected Slimey Schoeller to consider.
