Links: Nixon's Campaign Finance Report

Intro: 
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's campaign has raised almost triple that of Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder.
RunTime:  0:45
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: Numbers released show that Nixon's campaign raised over 4 million dollars, while Kinder's campaign raised less than 2 million.

Nixon's campaign treasurer Craig Hosmer says Nixon received more donations because he earned the support of the people while in office ... not because of recent reports that Kinder was once a patron at a strip club.

Kinder's campaign advisor Rich Chrismer would not directly comment on whether Kinder's relation to a strip club affected donations.

But he says the campaign has the resources to be successful.

Actuality:  CHRIS3.WAV
Run Time:  00:08
Description: "To put this in perspective, Peter Kinder has more cash on hand than the last Republican challenger had at this time in 2003."

Kinder is expected to announce his candidacy in the next month.
