Maybe you haven't noticed but more than a few people have called into question the suddenly chummy relationship between County Executive Mike Sanders and Republican Rep. Sam Graves.
Over the past few days, while Sanders has been crossing his fingers and hoping that the Republican powers that be in Jefferson City will grant him more money to lock up a greater percentage of (mostly brown) po'folk in Kansas City . . . Even The Star has noted the creepy public love fest of which Graves and Sanders seem to be starring.
Well it seems that other folks are taking notice and rumors are circulating that Mike Sanders might, just might hold a fundraiser for Sam Graves.
On one hand, this makes sense since nobody from the Barnes camp even pretended to like Sanders and the prevailing wisdom (usually wrong) is that she's going to run against the guy.
However, supporting Graves so openly might just alienate many who support Sanders given Kansas City's overwhelmingly Democrat bias.
Who knows? The only thing clear is that there seems to be a lot more behind this new political partnership than many folks in KC would be comfortable with (ew) . . . And, personally, I'm just waiting for the pair to start holding hands.
Yo T, you got some kinda weirdass man-crush on Sanders or what?
ReplyDeleteYo T, you got some kinda weirdass man-crush on Sanders or what?
ReplyDeleteyou have to take into account that Kit Bond has been buddy buddy with Barnes. Bond does not like Graves so it is pretty interesting to see this develop.
ReplyDeleteStrange bedfellows. Ew.
ReplyDeleteTony, you're on crack and/or a clueless hack. Sanders isn't gonna have a fundraiser for Graves. You need to get Talboy and Glorioso to get you better material G. He's the damn head of the local Dem party for christ's sake. Graves was in town yesterday writing Jackson County a huge check, so Sanders stood next to him. Hell, wouldn't you for $10,000,000?
ReplyDeleteI think the Deiter (sp?) reference to Sanders is pretty funny. I saw him on the news last night, and all I could think about was how he looked like Deiter. Good stuff TKC.
ReplyDeleteLet's see. Sanders supports Graves. Kit Bond supports Barnes. Hey Mayor, just a hint. Now that you don't have a car don't let Kit drive.
ReplyDeleteYup, agreed 1:02. If I were the former Mayor/Princess Kay, I'd be very careful about picking a fight with Mike Sanders on the eve of annoucing my plans for higher office. Love `em or hate `em, but that boy has simply smashed his opposition in recent years. Princess Kay may want to re-examine recent history.
