Kinder to conduct two-day campaign kickoff
Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder is reaffirming his commitment to running for governor. He announced this evening his schedule for a two-day flyaround, beginning next Tuesday, to formally launch his campaign.
At the moment, he has two other Republican rivals.: state Treasurer Sarah Steelman and U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, R-Columbia. All are expected to be at the statewide Lincoln Days this weekend in Springfield, Mo.
Here’s the schedule for Kinder:
Tuesday, February 12
9:00 a.m. Jefferson City State Capitol
10:45 a.m. Spirit of St. Louis Airport
12:45 p.m. Cape Girardeau Airport
2:45 p.m. Springfield/Branson Airport
4:00 p.m. Joplin Airport
Wednesday, February 13

Go Kinder go! It’s time to show Matt Blunt and his cronies that they have NO respect in this state and that’s why he’s not running. Matt Blunt and Rod Jetton may not support you, but me and all of my friends will work our tails off to upend Matt Blunt, Rod Jetton and Kenny Hulshof. You are a true conservative, friend, and capable leader. See you on the announcement tour.
Kinder is by far the best candidate in the race. He has statewide name recognition, years of state government experience and he’s not Matt Blunt’s hand chosen candidate. At least John Hancock is running Kenny Hulshof’s race. This should guarantee a loss for Matt Blunt, Rod Jetton’s clone Kenny Hulshof. In fact, if Blunt was of larger stature we could call Kenny, Matt Blunt’s Mini-me. But instead we’ll reverse it and call Matt Blunt a Mini-me of Kenny Hulshof! Ha!
I can’t wait to vote for Kinder. I fill so screwed by Matt Blunt and his cronies that I’m surprised they don’t support gay marriage. I will be so glad to get rid of Matt Blunt/Kenny Hulshof and all of their cronies once and for all. Kinder should have been the nominee 4 yrs. ago, but the Republican hierachy pushed Matt Blunt down our throat even though Kinder had patiently waited his turn. Then we are forced to endure scandal after scandal with Blunt, Jetton, and his buddy Nathan Cooper. Then Blunt, Jetton, Kingmaker that hasn’t ever won a race John Hancock and oh yeah, Kenny Hulshof try to force Mittens Romney down our throat and NOW they want us to accept Kenny Hulshof. I’m done. I’m taking a stand and supporting Peter KInder.
Peter, thank you for having the courage to stand up to the establishment. I know you, and I know that you’re running for the right reasons. You have a vision for this state unlike some of your opponents. I know that Kenny Hulshof is running just to try to get a job. I mean he used to work for Jay Nixon for Christ’s sake. I’ve had a lot of pressure from Blunt’s people to support Hulshof, but you’re my guy. Give the Blunt’s hell!
If Matt Blunt is for ‘em, I’m against ‘em. That’s why I’m supporting Peter Kinder. Plus the few times I’ve met Peter Kinder, he seems very knowledgable and I think he would make an awesome Governor. I will not vote for Kenny Hulshof or anybody else that Matt Blunt or that rocket scientist Rod Jetton tell me to vote for.
At the 2007 Lincoln Days held inSt Louis, I past around a number of Kinder for Gov-2008 Buttons! I wish I had a couple hundred because most people wanted to wear one. Peter is a leader and an individual willing to speak one on one with the voters, he knows how to promote the best in Missouri that helps our economy, and has contacts world wide that will support our people here in our state. Needless to say, my support is for Peter , and I will do what ever I can to assist in his election to Gov this year and get him re-elected in 2012!
At the 2007 Lincoln Days, St Louis, I had several buttons made that read Kinder for Gov-2008!
My regret that I did not have over 100 available, because many people supported the idea.
Peter is a one on one type leader, willing to talk and listen to the voters, a leader in support of the Missouri economy and jobs for our residents, knowledgeable of the issues and what is needed to fix problems.
Kinder as Gov will make our state a show case for the other 49 to follow, and I plan to do what ever I can to insure that come 2008, it will be Kinder that is sworn in on the state capital steps!
Bah! Humbug!
Kinder is Blunt warmed over, he’ll just give more of the state over to the GOP facist corporatist crooksters!
Does he have any family in the lobbying business?
