TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS TELL US MISSOURI SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE STEVE TILLEY WILL GIVE UP HIS RUN FOR LT. GOVERNOR!!!



THE MOST AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS tell us of news that's going to change the course of Missouri politics for the next ten years.

To wit . . .

THROUGHOUT MISSOURI LAST NIGHT THERE WAS SHOCK OVER WORD THAT MISSOURI STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE STEVE TILLEY IS GOING TO GIVE UP HIS CAMPAIGN FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR!!!



And while I was writing this post about Mr. Steven Tilley I was thinking . . .

Newsies for The Kansas City Star are asleep in their warm beds in The Golden Ghetto and enjoying their rich and full family lives. Meanwhile, I'm up late, angry and poor so when word reached me about this GROUNDBREAKING news it actually kind of cheered me up. Thanks!!! : )



To wit . . .

THERE WILL BE A GREAT MANY CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM THIS MOVE AND MISSOURI DEMOCRATS ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THE "DOWN BALLOT" IMPLICATIONS!!!

Where does this leave MO State Rep. Jason Kander?

Does this circumstance beg Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders to reconsider his thoughts about a state-wide office?

Also let's consider . . .

MISSOURI HOUSE SPEAKER STEVE TILLEY WAS "THE GOLDEN BOY" OF THIS STATE'S GOP AND WITHOUT HIM GOV. JAY NIXON LOOKS EVEN STRONGER ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHER DEMOCRAT CONTENDERS!!!

Claire doesn't have serious competition . . .

All things considered, this impending move could leave the Missouri GOP is desperate circumstances and looking at a rough road for upcoming elections.



As for Mr. Tilley's motivations for giving up . . . Nobody knows for sure. He keeps mentioning his devotion to his kids on his campaign site so that tired-but-often-very-real excuse should come up. Sadly, the guy is going through a divorce too. However, a very reliable source says that he may just "want to be a normal dude." And that makes sense too.

Whatever the case, look for more news of this move but remember

Natch.

  5. Has Kinder decided to run for re-election as Lt. Gov rather than run for Gov?

    Has Tilly decided to run against McCaskill?

    Tilley has an "airplane issue" like McCaskill.

    According to a November 2 Kraske story in The Star, Tilley just paid 50K in back taxes he owed on his stake in Mid MO Aviation. His business partner is a lobbyist- so the whole deal could be a kick-back scam that has blown up in Tilley's face.

    If Tilley were on the ticket, the Republicans could not use Claire's airplane problems against her as effectively. When Republicans are told to step aside, they click their heels and step aside unless --- you happent to be some apeshit crazy candidate for president.

    The Speaker went to a party in the Penn State locker room with Bishop Finn and someone was stupid enough to take pictures with a cell phone.

    Former Coach Paterno and Bishop Finn have no comment.

  17. Like all of Tony's commenters I am more interested in London Andrews and her big fat ass than all of this fighting.

    Also, it's funny that that GOP is having a problem coming up with somebody decent for all of these positions that are now competitive. I guess they aren't as big and bad as we thought.
