Sarah Palin to Campaign for Steelman in Kansas City MO

Updated at 11:57 p.m.

MISSOURI -- Sarah Palin will campaign in the Show-Me State for U.S. Senate candidate Sarah Steelman.

Sources confirm to KOLR10 News that the former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential nominee is finalizing details for her visit, planned just ahead of the August 7 primary election.

Late Wednesday, the Kansas City Star reported the campaign stop would be at a blueberry farm in Kansas City on Friday, in which both Republicans would be serving up food.

In mid-July, Palin threw her support behind Steelman and recently called her a fellow "mama grizzly" in a TV ad.

Steelman is engaged in a three-way race against former St. Louis businessman John Brunner and U.S. Rep. Todd Akin. The winner of next week's primary will take on Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill later this year.
