TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! ALL THE MISSOURI DEMOCRATS COME OUT FOR JASON KANDER'S SECRETARY OF STATE RUN!!!

Check a rather impressive list of Kansas City's favorite young politico MO State Rep. Jason Kander bringing out all of the "BIG GUNS" for his Secretary Of State run in Missouri.

So far he has only earned competition from a GOP nobody but this long list of Democrats standing up for him should keep any fellow donkeys out of the running.

However, I should note that I noticed Jackson County & Cass County support but I didn't see Clay & Platte Counties on the list.

It's nice to see he's bragging about his $233k war chest as well . . . Along with what be a rather soul-crushing effort to visit the rural areas of this horrible state.

Take a look:

Democratic Party County Chairs from Across Missouri Endorse Jason Kander for Secretary of State

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jason Kander today announced that forty Democratic Party Chairs from across the state have so far endorsed his Secretary of State campaign. These supporters are just the latest in a long string of endorsements from individuals and organizations from across Missouri that Kander has received since announcing his candidacy less than one month ago.

“I’m proud to have the support from local leaders in every corner of our state,” Kander said. “Democrats across Missouri are excited about the statewide ticket that is coming together for 2012. I look forward to continuing to travel to areas large and small to talk about the important ways the Secretary of State’s office touches the lives of Missouri families.”
