You just gotta love this:

Contributing the day’s best anecdote, Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder recalled his first race for the Missouri Senate 16 years ago. Visiting a parish picnic about 100 miles south of St. Louis, Kinder shook hands with an older gentlemen and asked for his support.

“Well, young man, I think I’ll support you,” Kinder remembered the man saying. But the voter added a proviso: ”We don’t want to elect somebody who won’t come back and drink a Budweiser with us.”

“To that, I replied: I’m your man!” said Kinder.

So we’ve shored up the Budweiser vote. That’s good news. Now on to the Bud Light crowd.
