TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY POLITICAL INSIDERS SAY JACKSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE MIKE SANDERS WILL RUN FOR MISSOURI SECRETARY OF STATE!!!
"He's in"
Now we just have to wait for a dramatic announcement from The Jackson County Executive that is befitting of his small army of PR and media people . . . And his ego, of course.
However . . .
JUST ABOUT EVERY IMPORTANT KANSAS CITY POLITICO IS BETTING THAT MIKE SANDERS WILL RUN FOR MISSOURI SECRETARY OF STATE!!!
Now, it's just a matter of transcribing a bad speech and reporting it as news.
Still more importantly here is what KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY POLITICAL INSIDERS are telling TKC . . .
THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING KANSAS CITY DEMOCRAT SLAP FIGHTS TO WATCH!!!
If MO State Rep. Jason Kander stays in then this thing could get really nasty . . .
And while Mr. Kander's war chest of MORE THAN A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS is intimidating . . . Most people expect MO State Senator Victor Callahan's EVEN BIGGER AND MORE IMPRESSIVE STOCKPILE OF CASH will at least partially go to back up his Eastern Jackson County homie Mike Sanders . . . Given that smart people tell us the entire Eastern Jack "Cartel" "Empire" "Dynasty" or fiefdom will be risked with this crusade by Mr. Sanders -- It's a big bet and The Jackson County Executive is apparently counting on winning everything.
However . . .
KANSAS CITY POLITICAL INSIDERS WARN THAT MIKE SANDERS AND JASON KANDER COULD CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT!!!
Check the perspective from somebody who has a great deal of knowledge about local politics and longstanding trends:
"When you have two strong candidates from Kansas City running for a statewide office, historically, the fierce competition inevitably takes its toll," The Local Expert said. "While they're busy fighting - A candidate from rural Missouri or STL invariably comes along to steal the race . . . Invariably Kansas City ends up losing the job."
It gets worse . . .
"Don't expect the Democrat party leaders to talk sense into either camp to avoid a costly primary where both candidates are damaged."
Why?
"Because both Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill and Gov. Jay Nixon need a lot of Democrats to come out, get involved and help their campaigns as well."
So . . . Unless MO State Rep. Jason Kander stands down . . .
KANSAS CITY POLITICAL INSIDERS EXPECT AN EXCEPTIONALLY NASTY AND BITTER KANSAS CITY DEMOCRAT PRIMARY THAT WILL ULTIMATELY PROVE UNPRODUCTIVE!!!
And that pretty much sounds like politics as usual in this wicked little town.
DEVELOPING . . .
So where do we make the checks?
ReplyDeleteHe can't win in Boone County.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have a chance/ Ole bill soybean stouffer is a lock in the general. Well. in Ole Soybean's dreams.

ReplyDeleteThis is Kanderz payback for the prosecutor snub
ReplyDeleteTheresa will win County Executive after Mike loses.
ReplyDeleteNobody wins? That sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteLander this is no State rep race you can't walk it
ReplyDeleteLander this is no State rep race you can't walk it
ReplyDeleteWho is the source on this? This makes no sense. Lt. Governor, maybe. SoS makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteDiana Kander will make the campaign dirty. If you are related to Mike Sanders, or even if you have met Mike Sanders, you are fair game to Diana Kander's twisted attacks.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a ugly campaign Victor, Carnes , Sanders on one side Kanders on the other. Wow
ReplyDeleteAre all Democrats corrupt?
ReplyDelete1148 Your question would be better phrased ALL POLITICIANS.
ReplyDeleteTell you what son, IF Sanders runs he runs solo. No real elected official will extend anything more than a "here's a small contribution just to show party unity, now beat it" check.
ReplyDeleteSanders has spent the last 4 years shitting on everyone and thinking he done good.
His employees are just waiting for him to get lost, the County is STILL poorly run, enough that Katheryn Shields could kick Sanders' ass. Garza can just step it up a bit and if she drops her girly ways and tries to be professional, damn, even she could run Sanders out of office.
12:04 - Kander has spent his measly 3 years doing the same shitting. This is going to be interesting to watch.
ReplyDeleteCallahan is the most corrupt of them all. I can't believe he has escaped indictment.
ReplyDeleteJohn Rizzo for SOS, because everybody running for the Dem ticket supported Rizzo - he would be the man.
ReplyDeleteCallahan may be corrupt, but he is certainly entertaining.
