AG Race - the Introduction of a 2nd Woman

The AG's race took an interesting spin - another woman entered the race. Molly Korth Williams is a very nice woman, resident of Brookside, a mom, lawyer and school teacher. She sits on the Jackson County Board of Equalization.

There's been at least two pieces connecting Chris Koster to Molly Williams getting into the race. The first was in the Pitch, in a well written article by David Martin, which connected Koster to Williams thru Judge Dandurand (a recent appointment to the Court of Appeals). Second up was Steve Kraske's article in the KC Star that has the following quote. “I’m 100 percent convinced — I’ve never been more convinced of anything — that Koster was behind this,” said Donnelly adviser Richard Martin. Richard Martin ran Bob Holden's campaign, Claire McCaskill's campaign and he's tight with the Carnahans. Richard carries alot of weight in our party.

The Blogs are eating this story up. Gone Mild includes a picture of Molly and Judge Dandurand. Pub Def says Koster and Dandurand are "chummy." Big Muddy Politics points out that when two men are running against a women, the woman wins.

So, here's my question, do liberal women in KC really just vote for the woman candidate? I think KC women, like the Greater KC Woman's Political Caucus, will endorse the best candidate who is strongest on woman issues. Am I wrong here?

On the other hand, wouldn't it be a hoot if the Big Three all are so nasty to each other that Molly ends up AG?

Maybe this will help keep a mudfest at bay.

Aren't Koster and Victor Callahan big buddies? Didn't Victor ensure that KC Building & Trades (Victor's employer) endorsed Koster.

This smells of Victor. Don't you agree, Phil? I know you are friends with Molly and John and that your bride gave Molly a job with the county. Doesn't your hate of Victor overcome your friendship with the Williams family?

And she has done a darn good job in the job she got, FOV.

As to any connection between the two esteemed state senators, I would be the last to be in that loop. Perhaps you should share any knowledge you have?

Heath said that NC Soft could counterbalance loosed by improving on established gw gold services for games. With the online games business of using necessary GuildWars Gold, it is all about growing your subscriber base. It will also enable extra Guild Wars Gold and features such as voice mail. We will be able to offer our players a commanding set of communication tools and also some GuildWars money. I have a feeling all I will be doing is sitting and pvping with cheap gw gold.
