That man is Bill Randles. The media and the GOP, Network is opposed to him. That tells me and it should tell you, he is worth his salt and can do some serious good. He is the REAL DEAL. Don't count his out!!!!! Ed should not even consider a run for Governor, many who supported him for the congressional race will feel betrayed by him. I know I would, If I gave money for a particular race and someone switches in mid/stream. I would really wonder!!Brandy Pedersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229086601984094251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276040368928521439.post-90820642852999537032011-10-23T13:46:02.117-05:002011-10-23T13:46:02.117-05:00Gill,

This is part of the reason that Ed must be pushed--if he switches again, he looks like an opportunistic race jumper.<br /><br />Jon,<br /><br />The reason I wrote that the WaPo's criticism was incomplete is because they didn't mention several other issues that are dogging Kinder. There was no mention of the fact that Kinder's SUV was stolen, crashed into a gun store, and then torched in a field. While your initial reaction may be that he can't be held responsible for some perp's theft (and I'd agree), leaving his keys in the car does not reflect well on Kinder's judgement. Billing the state for hotel room stays that were more campaign related than official business has been papered over now that he's reimbursed the state; however, this too does not reflect well on him. The fact that his right hand man, David Barcklage, owes more than half-a-million dollars in back taxes also reflects poorly on Kinder. None of these things by themselves is a big deal, but taken together... Well, like I said, it's just hard to defend the guy. It's hard because you know that who ever you're talking with has some great material to hit back with.<br /><br />Again, I really like Peter. I think he would be a great Governor for the Show Me State and I think it's up to him to decide about that.dsmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501964533388756254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276040368928521439.post-59147141382550021822011-10-23T12:05:29.838-05:002011-10-23T12:05:29.838-05:00I don't know just how holy Patrick Tuohey of t...I don't know just how holy Patrick Tuohey of the Missouri record is and I'm sure I don't care. Having dated a few ladies who shucked their dainty's for a living is not a crime and spices up the average conversation. I don't care if Peter joined the ladies on stage, we have to get rid of Nikita Nixon. I wonder what kind of bar's Mr. Tuohey went to when he was younger and unmarried? If you've never been there, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about, so don't knock it. If you have been there, perhaps you are not fit to write for the Missouri Record.JON DARMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295056036204072371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276040368928521439.post-80673540222148155992011-10-23T10:29:26.538-05:002011-10-23T10:29:26.538-05:00The merits of Martin notwithstanding, the home of ...The merits of Martin notwithstanding, the home of the BOTS has two important state wide offices to fill: 1) governor and 2) senator. If Martin undertakes to battle the red-jay Nixon, there will be a need to find a strong conservative to take on the evil dragon and obummer lower anatomy kisser, clearly a numbskull, for her chair in dea-sea.<br /><br />GillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
