This is a monumental boost to the Republican L.G. Peter Kinder – and a tough blow to his Democrat opponent. From seMissourian:
Kinder’s Democratic opponent, Rep. Sam Page, also reported benefitting from the repeal of contribution limits, but not to the extent that Kinder was able to achieve. Page, a St. Louis County anesthesiologist, raised $88,300 more than would have been allowed under the limits from 14 contributors who gave in excess of $1,350 since Thursday. In all, that group of 14 contributors gave Page $107,200.
Page’s biggest contributor was the Missouri Society of Anesthesiologists PAC, which gave $30,000.
The contest between Page and Kinder should be vigorous; Page has $644,000 in the bank as of Saturday; he raised a total of $307,000 since the last report was filed in late July.
