Kinder Now National Embarrassment

Kinder has always been Missouri's little embarrassment. Most people couldn't tell you who our Lt. Gov. is and only see Kinder doing silly little things like doing Matt Blunt's dirty work.

Well, that's all done now. Kinder's many mistakes have now made Daily KOs - one of the most read blogs in America. Daily KOs picked up on a story from Gone Mild. From employing perverts to hiring folks of questionable ethics from the Blunt email scandal, Kinder's ethical errors are now nationwide.

Here's hoping that Dr. Sam Page gets elected in November.

Kinder Plays Finance Games

Fired Up Missouri reports that Kinder has played some finance games of his own by setting up the Better Leadership for Missouri PAC to funnel donations.

Here's the deal, this is a classic Republican game. Do Democrats take donations from committees - yes. What we don't see is Democrats going out, setting up a committee and then running a pass through operation. That is what has been alleged against Koster and Kinder. The only thing missing from the Kinder story is an insider who testifies that they were the one trading checks.

Play by the rules, fellas. Just like we see Harris and Donnelly attacking Koster for not playing by the rules, expect Dr. Sam Page to hold Kinder accountable, too.

Sam Page Shows HUGE Dmeocratic Momentum

CCP endorsed candidate Sam Page is showing HUGE momentum. In the race for Lt. Governor, Sam reported that he raised large sums on money in his race against Peter Kinder. Here's the on-hand numbers:

Page - $560,000
Kinder - $573,000

If you are a state-wide incumbent and you can't raise large sums of money against a challenger, you are sucking wind. In fact, Kinder is blowing in the wind. What does this mean? It means that 1) Dr. Page is running a great campaign and 2) that contributors of all stripes understand this will be a great Democratic year.

The Lt. Governor is the tie-breaking vote in the Missouri senate. Having Dr. Sam Page in that chair will make all the difference.
