I know a Republican Party official here in Kansas who is, in fact a liberal Democrat. He says that the activist Democrats in this state long ago gave up voting/ participating in the Democrat party because they recognize that state is too darn Republican. Instead they register as Republicans, and promote the most extreme and unappealing candidates as nominees for office. They claim the election of Governor Kathleen Sibelius, and the reelection of Congressman Dennis Moore is their doing.

Finally, liberal Democrats are seeking to skew our Republican primary through their dominance of the media. We would strongly encourage you to disregard virtually all newspaper endorsements. Polls have consistently shown that 90% of journalists are Democrats. While newspapers frequently write endorsements to give the appearance that their decisions are based on the qualifications of the candidates, this is often simply a cover for selecting the more liberal Republican.

Would that include Michael McCaul in US CD 10? Endorsed by the liberal Austin American-Statesman and called the "moderate" of the candidates by the liberal Austin Chronicle, although they would not endorse anyone? McCaul is proudly trumpeting his endorsement in his own campaign ads. That tells me he doesn't know who runs the Statesman or doesn't care.

If I ever ran for office and the Statesman endorsed me, I would either decline the endorsement or drop out of the race in embarassment.
