| Description | Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder will not run for governor in 2012, multiple Republican sources tell POLITICO.
The seismic decision comes after months of damaging headlines over past trips to a strip club, taxpayer funded hotel stays and jarring outbursts on his Twitter account.
Kinder was making calls to donors and supporters as recent as this week informing them that he would still pursue his dream of the governorship, but sources say he changed his mind in the last 36 hours.
A separate source said at one point there were plans for a Sunday announcement in his hometown of Cape Girardeau.
"He's flipped on a dime. He made a seismic shift," said one Republican with knowledge of Kinder's outreach. |
