A Ladue businessman is the Republican frontrunner for the 2012 gubernatorial primary.
Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder announced at 4 p.m. Friday that he is dropping out of the Missouri governor race, according to an Associated Press story.
Kinder has struggled after articles about visits at a strip club and taxpayer-supported hotel stays.
Kinder said he would support the candidacy of Dave Spence, of Ladue. Spence is president of Alpha Packaging on Page Industrial Boulevard in Overland. He has never run for office.
Spence is “a self-made man and proven manager who understands how to create jobs and improve the state’s economy,” Kinder said, according to the AP article.
Bill Randles, a lawyer and consultant from Kansas City, is another candidate for the Republican nomination.
Spence also faces some questions regarding his position on the board of Reliance Bank, as reported by the St. Louis Beacon.

In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Kinder said he has decided to seek a third term as lieutenant governor instead of challenging Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon in the 2012 elections.
Kinder had long been the Republicans’ presumed gubernatorial candidate, but his campaign was rocked by politically damaging revelations before it ever officially began.
Earlier this year, Kinder repaid the state more than $54,000 for lodging expenses after the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported he had spent hundreds of nights at St. Louis hotels, some of which coincided with society galas, sporting events and other non-governmental functions. Then in August, after an article by the St. Louis weekly newspaper the Riverfront Times, Kinder acknowledged that he had repeatedly visited an Illinois strip club when he was a state senator in the 1990s. A few Republicans, including one major donor, called on Kinder not to run for governor.

… I believe after numerous conversations with Dave Spence that he is the Republican Party’s best chance of defeating Jay Nixon,” Kinder said. “Dave is a self-made man and proven manager who understands how to create jobs and improve the state’s economy. He is smart, serious and has a vision he’s shared with me to renew Missouri’s greatness. I am proud to call him a friend and will do everything in my power to see that he’s elected governor next year.”

It hasn’t been Peter Kinder’s year. And it looks like he won’t get the job he wanted next year. Sources tell Politico and The Star that Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder will not run for governor. It had long been assumed that Kinder would run and be the Republican front-runner, but he has now decided against it. One state Republican leader told Politico’s David Catanese, “He’s flipped on a dime. He made a seismic shift.”
Kinder’s reputation and credibility took a major hit this summer when The Riverfront Times in St. Louis broke the story that Kinder had frequented strip clubs and had an odd friendship with Tammy Chapman, a former Penthouse pet turned cocktail waitress. Chapman told RFT that Kinder had offered to let her stay at his St. Louis condo, which he paid for with campaign dollars. Kinder also suffered a humiliating episode this spring when his Ford SUV was stolen, driven into a gun shop and set on fire. Kinder admitted later that he had left his keys inside the vehicle. And The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran stories outing Kinder for using tax money to reimburse himself for a ridiculous amount of hotel stays.

Such a decision came despite Spence’s previous financial support for Kinder in the past. In fact, Spence donated $5,500 to Kinder’s campaign less than a month ago, in what Spence called in an interview, “a gesture of friendship, to say it’s not a ‘Peter versus David’ issue.”
“I know Peter, I respect him. He’s given great service to the state,” Spence said.
But the businessman added that he’s forging ahead with his own candidacy because Spence believes that his personality, past and professional experiences make him a better Republican candidate to take on Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat.
Spence sidestepped his reasons for no longer supporting Kinder, saying he’d prefer not to get into the specifics of the lieutenant governor’s problems — which over the past six months have ranged from a torched campaign campaign car to questions about Kinder’s frequent hotel stays in Missouri billed to taxpayers and to Kinder’s acquaintance with a former stripper.

From the musical outpost of St. Louis, Missouri, Kristeen Young began making unlikely inroads into the world of in-your-face piano rock at a time when most attentions were drifting into either grunge retreads, tea-scented Lilith Fair folk rock or burgeoning electronica. In 1997 she debuted with Meet Miss Young and Her All Boy Band, and by 2009 she had dropped the space between her name and released her sixth record Music For Strippers, Hookers, and The Odd On-Looker, a dense and unusual album that compliments Young’s swooping vocal delivery with the expert production of Tony Visconti.
…
That attitude, you mean? Yeah, I think there’s less of that kind of attitude…people are a little more narrow [now], but that’s just my feeling. That idea of doing what you wanted must have had something to do with your choice of the piano as your primary instrument. Oh yeah, that was sort of difficult. It was a very guitar-oriented time. What attracted you t …
