| Description: "I think it's the final phase to finally take back Missouri from special interests, from side deals, from career politicians, and people that don't have the best interests of Missourians and 114 counties in mind." | |
Missouri Democratic Party spokesman Isaac Wright says the Democratic candidates do not have a bus tour planned but are continuing to campaign individually throughout the state.

Wrap: Several GOP candidates joined together in Jefferson City Thursday to launch what they call a comeback tour.
However, both incumbent lieutenant governor candidate Peter Kinder and U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin were absent from the event.
Gubernatorial candidate Dave Spence says scheduling conflicts kept the two candidates from attending.

| Description: "You know, there's no black helicopters flying around, there's no hidden agenda, there's no nothing. It's just, everyone has their own schedule and this is when the people could meet." | |
Kinder campaign spokesman David Barklage says Kinder already had events scheduled for Thursday and hopes to join the tour in St. Louis Friday.
The Akin campaign was unable to be reached for comment.
