Hmmm. Someone is missing from that list.
ReplyDeleteother than than Mayor.
ReplyDeleteAnybody who matters.
Sanders your people are posting comments at our expense, but you are pissing yourself! LOL LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteSanders has always run against fence posts. He has no idea what is waiting for him when he faces an energenic candidate with a strong campaign promoting him.
ReplyDeleteHere is where your political career ends Mike.
Buh bye, Mike. You double-crossing bastard.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of people are missing from that list
ReplyDeleteCallahan will buy the office, he is as crooked as they come. Kander doesn't stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteIt's only been a couple days, thats not bad for so soon. This one's my choice.
ReplyDeleteKandar is MISSING area people. We know him.
ReplyDeleteLet's call this the list of state rep's who want him the hell out of the house and don't want to put up with his selfish, self serving approach to governing.
ReplyDeleteMike will string this one out. It's a race but it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Mike knows this and it's clear Jason doesn't.
ReplyDeleteFormer Rep. Jason Grill
ReplyDeleteThat makes me smile everytime I see that.
So does the SOS keep the sex offender database?
I can feel it calling in the air tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kander is fucked.
I like Kander, even if he does seem a bit over-ambitious at times, and hope he kicks that SOB Sanders's ass.
ReplyDeleteBut it does seem a little odd that almost no one from Kansas City is on this list...
Where is John Rizzo? We all know he's Jackson County's voice of the future...Crystal Williams agrees.
ReplyDeleteDoes the mayor actually matter?
ReplyDeleteHow did Kander get to be SUCH a fuckstick? Really - this guy makes nerdy Mike Sanders seem cool.
ReplyDeleteI've never met Kander, but he oozes arrogance and self-importance. All that bragging about the military makes me want to puke. Go lick a boot already you skinny twerp!
This is a very smart endorsement list. Kander is sending the message that he can play statewide, especially in voter-rich St. Louis. He has proven that he can get votes in KC, and has consistently done so in Dem-heavy Brookside. It will, of course, be difficult for KC politicians to publicly endorse Kander with Sanders looking at the race. But, again, the point of Kander's list (and war chest) is to show he is ready for a long, statewide battle. The kid is good.
ReplyDeleteKander's judgment is in question after listing Jason Grill on the list
ReplyDeleteSurprised the director of revenue isn't on the list, since the tax lien was finally lifted a couple weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteKander is the inevitable nominee. Sanders and others would be wise not to risk their careers on a race they cannot win. No one outworks Kander, and he has been laying the groundwork for years.
ReplyDeleteCass county is not on that list.....humm.
ReplyDeleteWhen a certain notable St. Louis politician enters the race in the coming weeks most of those St. Louis endorsements will no longer exist.
