The person who should be winning this race in a romp for the GOP put her "heart" ahead of her political ambition.

Why is Schallenburger losing so badly?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Midwestern states aren't big on strident conservatives. Brownback had an opponent with a nice last name when he won, but Sebelius has been elected statewide and presents a stronger challenge. Stovall could beat her, but Shallenburger is out of step with many Kansans. Kansas isn't Idaho.

Why is Schallenburger losing so badly?

That's a mystery to me. Shallenburger did OK as Treasurer, not a high visibility office but then neither is the Insurance Commissioners office where Sebelius was. His primary was no more acrimonious than the ones for Treasurer or Attorney General. I don't know why he is so far behind except that Sebelius is advertising and Shallenburger isn't. To be honest I thought Kline would be the one in trouble, not Shallenburger.
