Politico's Dave Catanese: Signs of Establishment Republicans Pulling Away from Kinder?

On Mark Reardon’s show this afternoon, Dave Catanese mentioned that Missouri Republicans may be starting to peel way from Peter Kinder.

The bigger question for Peter Kinder is what do Establishment Republicans think right now. And I think they're beginning to quietly peel away behind the scenes saying that this situation is untenable. Do we have to start thinking about another candidate here?

Reardon and Catanese mention people like State Auditor Tom Schweich, State Senator Brad Lager and former Missouri Speaker of the House and U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway as potential replacement candidates.
