Not overstated at all. Moran was the main candidate sought to run to unite the wings and was hardly an unknown. Given that he represented the largest district in the state and was previously the State Senate Majority Leader, he was quite well known. The liberal RINO wing became predictably enraged at the Conservative Shallenburger’s nomination and voted for the hard-left Democrat, so they’re the only ones to blame for his loss.
Completely overstated. You really don't understand this state at all, do you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shallenburger had won the treasurer post with 63% of the vote four years before. He was a good, though not great candidate for governor. Sebelius won because she ran good campaign and Shallenburger did not. And she attracted a lot of Graves' supporters. Moran probably wouldn't have done much better, may not have done as well.
