Former vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is coming to Missouri today to campaign for GOP Senate candidate Sarah Steelman.

The conservative firebrand will serve up barbecue and political red meat at a picnic campaign event for the former state treasurer.

The “BBQ and Picnic with Governor Sarah Palin” will take place in Cleveland, Missouri, about an hour south of Kansas City.

It will be Palin’s first campaign appearance with Steelman since the former Alaska governor endorsed her some two weeks ago. Since endorsing Steelman, Palin has appeared in a campaign commercial.
