"This is not a good first introduction," Reed said. "I mean yesterday I was saying it's ok to be hated. But when you're laughed at, that's pretty bad. I mean in terms of your viability with people."
Here's a partial transcript:
REED: So you've got this opponent, Dave Spence, he's from the St. Louis area, and he's kind of been joked about the last few days I guess is the way to put it. He has on- he's a business guy and one of the things that- and I don't know him but he's had on his website is that he majored in economics. Is that what it was? And then someone found out, well home economics, which they're saying "well, it's something else really." Home economics make it sound like it’s not as important as it is and its not- it's still up on the website, I think as of this morning, or last night it was. What do you- do you know Dave Spence personally, I don't know him.
RANDLES: I have visited a few times with him on the phone, but apart from that I don't know him.
REED: So how did you find out about- I mean this is one of those things, I don't think to most people its major, but I think it's- the first introduction a lot of Missourians are going to have to this guy is this. And this is not a good first introduction. I mean yesterday I was saying it's ok to be hated, but when you're laughed at, that's pretty bad. I mean in terms of your viability with people.
RANDLES: You know, he's been a successful businessman. Perhaps he should stick with that. The fact is, it makes you wonder why he would state that his degree was in something other than it was. The public is so used to politicians budging the truth or trying to put one over on them. You've got to be extra candid I think... Full audio here. Courtesy of Fire Up! Missouri.
