Earlier today, Sam Page, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, accused rival Peter Kinder, the Republican incumbent, of orchestrating a wave of anonymous robo-calls targeting Page last month.

Here’s a fresh response from Kinder spokesman Paul Sloca:

It is clear that Sam Page cannot talk about real issues and has no vision for the state, and it is sad that his paranoid conspiracy theories are being given any credence at all. It is also sad that Sam Page’s reckless and unsubstantiated attacks against Lt. Governor Peter Kinder are being treated as legitimate. The people of Missouri want a lieutenant governor like Peter Kinder who is in touch with reality and not someone like Sam Page who clearly is not.
