The Kansas City Star endorses:
The Star’s recommendations for Missouri statewide offices
…Attorney General
Two talented political leaders seek this office; we recommend Mike Gibbons, the Republican from Kirkwood. His Democratic opponent is Chris Koster of Raymore, a former Cass County prosecutor. Both are lawyers and state senators, and both have been effective legislators…
…We disagree with Gibbons on some issues, including stem cell research. But he seems to be a straight arrow who really wants to serve the public. Koster sometimes seems focused largely on his own political ambitions.
The Democrat’s campaign has been financed by thousands of dollars funneled through committees by one donor…
Okay.
I seem to recall a republican candidate for some statewide office being the recipient of the single largest campaign contribution in the history of the State of Missouri. It’s there somewhere, I just can’t put my finger on it…
The Star must figure that $1,100,000.00 just can’t buy any decent influence these days…
that didn’t get the Star endorsement.
I don’t like Gibbons taking all that money but Koster voted for unlimited contributions every time.
Taking money from pro voucher Sinquefield isn’t a good thing.
Cheating on your fundraising like he did in a primary also isn’t a good thing.
