In the video below, Peter Kinder shows his anger about...

When I met Dr. Sam Page, I asked with genuine puzzlement why he would want to be the Lieutenant Governor. Underlying my puzzlement was my impression that Lieutenant Governor is kind of a half-hearted ambition, kind of like a kid dreaming of being the MVP of Minor League Baseball or wanting to be Alfred instead of Batman. Sam Page wants to be the Lieutenant Governor, and Missourians should...

... Republican Peter Kinder hangs on to win re-election against Anesthesiologist and State Senator Sam Page. My father actually used to support Page back in the day because he was in favor of tort reform, however he quit after Page’s militant pro-abortion views became evident.

Sam Page's loss is Missouri's loss. You can get a sense of what kind of public servant we just lost from this letter Sam sent to his supporters: "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan." That quote is from Tacitus, a Senator in first century Rome. JFK quoted him following the Bay of Pigs, reflecting on its failure, but before that, he was quoted by Count Ciano, wartime pilot and...
