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.
The Star's Steve Kraske says he got Kinder on the phone today, but Kinder wouldn't comment. His official announcement is expected on Sunday.

I wouldnt want someone to be governor if they cant get hammered during an all-nighter without remembering to take the keys out of the ignition.
