Hollywood isn't the only place where people can die from encouragement . . . A day late to the discussion, this former alt-mag offers a rather clever pat of the back and "Kansas City Nice" curse. Read more:
Congratulations to Jason Kander, who has already sewn up the 2019 race for Kansas City mayor
This is almost cruel, I thought yesterday morning, reading through the press release announcing Jason Kander's candidacy for the 2019 Kansas City mayoral race. I couldn't help but put myself in the shoes of the other eight people who, until a week ago, thought they might be the next mayor.
I think Diana Kander is beautiful.

Kander
So, you are going to go ahead & have the election anyway, right?
ReplyDeletethe pitch article was spot-on.
ReplyDeletekander wants to use kc but it would be good for us.
that may be too cynical, actually, because he would likely be a fantastic mayor. if he isn't, the inevitable run for higher office wouldn't work.
imagine his star power not just politically but also at business recruiting, civic events, and, yes, social functions. for example, he could help mount a push for the soccer world cup with pizazz.
Where is his necktie?
ReplyDeleteCorrection bow tie since he is a clone of Slie.
ReplyDeleteI guess Quinton won’t be the next Messiah after all. Now he needs to get a real private sector job and not live a career on the public dime all based on his up and coming story. Stories don’t make good mayors, Real world life experience does. Making payroll does.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, he's just a spoiled white boy, not the messiah.
ReplyDeleteStill won't vote for him! Who is the republican or independent running for Mayor??? yeah, that's what I thought! Corrupt City!
ReplyDeleteThe Pitch says?
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha
I hope it works out because the D’s are desperate to have him hold some sort of office as they try to place him on the political pedestal for 2020. The money will be flowing in....if he can stay focused on KC and not be too far to the left he could help KCs overall position. Although I strongly disagree with 12:38, thatJason will be Business Friendly. I predict that he and will have a hard time connecting with people in that circle. His policies are pretty anti-business.
ReplyDeleteMinorities and people from the northland will not like him.
ReplyDeleteJason: Turn on the energetic charm and keep it on throughout your term as mayor. Eschew the divisive rhetoric so that you can work with business leaders as well as state political leaders to get things done productively. You'll win by being a results-oriented mayor can then go on to lefty divisiveness in later elections on the national stage.
ReplyDeleteI understand that both people that read the pitch disagree with one another on this.
ReplyDeleteIs there a black republican living in KCMO ?
ReplyDeleteYes
