Still, lots of Kansas Republicans tend to be squishes, particularly the Johnson County country club types, but that county isn’t in this district.
This is true but don't count out media manipulation. It's how we got Sebelius twice. With all the Brownback bashing, they almost got another liberal in the Governor's office. Also with all the Brownback bashing, we lost quite a few good conservatives in the Kansas House and Senate. Our local medias are terribly manipulative when it comes to politics.

Yes, and what’s worse, Brownback doesn’t bother much to defend himself. He let’s the media get away with all manner of distortions. Kinda reminds me of GW Bush and the New Tone.
