Glad to see Forward KC leading the way on this one. Frankly, from the coverage I've seen there are way too many people willing to give this one away already. It would be nice to hear what the candidates actually have to say for themselves.
ReplyDeleteEarly predication that most of you should know, Scott Wagner wins this one because he's friends with all of the people at Forward. In other words, it seems rigged.
DeletePlease don't overestimate the influence of Wagner, right now he's on record as having less cash than Councilmember Alissia Canady. He should probably drop out.
DeleteTaylor wins. He's a master debater.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^ Don't think that sounds as good as you think.
DeleteBwahahahahahahahahahaa!
Will the moderators ask the candidates for their views on unsolicited bulk email?
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^ Kander wins and he will destroy your spam @6:55. Also if you keep spamming your "diana is lovely" bullshit I will fart in your general direction. Try to be more interesting and the ladies will line up to polish your knob!
ReplyDelete#TeamKander loves you!
We need better candidates.
ReplyDeleteThat'll be a clusterfuck.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yep.
ReplyDeleteWagner wont even carry the Northland just like Deb Hermann.
ReplyDelete^^^ +100
ReplyDeleteScott is doing almost as poorly a's Reed when it comes to securing a new job. He doesn't have much of a future outside of politics.
Will canady apologize to the police?
ReplyDeleteShe wants to turn killa shitty into Baltimore and that’s bad, dry bad
Interesting that they are coming to the Northland where nobody important lives, it's all white privileged people who hate everything about South of the River, and what else....... Oh yeah, the place where we pay our taxes and get ZIP in return from our leaders.
ReplyDeleteCanady should bring her car registration to prove its current. Fat stupid bitch.
ReplyDeletehow optimistic can one be after the disappointments of recent elections?
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good point.
ReplyDeleteWe’re DOOMED!
ReplyDeleteAll I know is Kansas City’s 3rd district is a freaking death trap.
ReplyDeleteSad, but true, @5:37am.
ReplyDeleteIt's also where hundreds of millions of taxpayers' dollars go to die.
They disappear into thin air and are never heard from again.
It never changes.
6:01 I wonder what explaining what the third district is like to people who have never been there. Say you were at some random college class in Colorado and you were given 20 minutes to explain the third district and what you would see if you ever came to it.
ReplyDeleteI mean I personally would just have a slide show with two pictures. One of a body bag and the other a glass smoking pipe.
Not surprising at all that they're holding this debate north of the River, all the African American Candidates know that's the only place within the City Limits that's safe after dark.
ReplyDeleteCount how many times Canady uses the word "like".
ReplyDeleteEd Ford is a creature of Mike Burke. Burke recruited Ford; re-drew district lines to include Ford's backyard; raised money and ran Ford's campaign.
