Feast your own eyes on a recent Democratic chow-down in St. Joseph.
The following are video clips of the 14th annual Northwest Missouri Central Labor Council barbecue, which took place this weekend at Callison Hall.
Footage highlights Friday speakers, which included statewide candidates Sen. Chris Koster, D-Harrisonville, who's running for attorney general, and Mark Sheehan, of St. Joseph, who's competing for the 28th House of Representatives District seat.
Other speakers included Rep. Ed Wildberger, D-St. Joseph, who's uncontested this election, and a representative from the Obama Campaign for Change, Max Stahl.

Obama's rep should dress a little more appropriately, and the fact about voting straight Dem is laughable. I'm a pretty staucnh Republican, but I'm not foolish enough to simply vote blindly Republican without weighing each candidate against the other. That's just stupid.
And Ed, there is tons of growth going on and tons of jobs available. Maybe if people would get up off the couch and the welfare checks would stop coming, maybe they'd be a little more motivated to work. the real problems in our country stem from the energy crisis your democrat friends in washington continue to block to vote on anything with merit to try and relieve some of the problem.
