Full Interview with Lt. Governor Kinder

Lt. Governor Peter Kinder.

Lt. Governor Peter Kinder.

Lt. Governor Peter Kinder takes aim at "Obamacare," and Democratic rivals. We discuss his legal challenge to what he calls "the federal health control law," and why he thinks his lawsuit will likely end up before the Supreme Court. We also cover some political turf: Kinder compares his style of leadership with that of Governor Jay Nixon. Missourians, says Kinder, "want a fighter, not someone who will lie down and just take dictation from our federal masters."

Is he running for governor in 2012? Still undecided. Stay tuned for an announcement later this month.
