Show-Me Kehoe Campaign Kick-Off Against Alleged Nepo Baby Ashcroft

Unfortunately . . .  We don't think any of the Missouri Republicans are going to start throwing around the term "Nepo Baby" even if that would be HILARIOUS.

Still . . . This isn't our fight . . .

Nevertheless . . . 

We can't help notice that Guv Lite Mike Kehoe has the support of many Democratic Party loyalists . . . Whether he wants it or not. 

Here's his pitch that we shouldn't have overlook this week because it's surprisingly earnest and should speak to so many broke-ass voters across party lines . . .

In that video, he notes at the outset: “Growing up, I didn’t have a famous father or a father at all. He left when I was 1, leaving a single mother to raise six kids.”

Kehoe said that was about trying to provide a counterpoint to the idea that his opponent’s name recognition, as a state office holder whose father is John Ashcroft, is an insurmountable hurdle.

“The point of us working with Missourians is that I want to make sure people understand this race is not about the name, it's about the person,” Kehoe said. “And if you look at the background and the path that I've had in life and the journey we've had, starting out very basic and working through several successful small businesses that still run and operate today, I think the differences between how I was raised and came through society is likely much different than any of my other opponents will be.”
