For better or worse, through sickness and health, a Kansas gubernatorial candidate has picked his wife as his mate -- for life and for lieutenant governor.

Republican Jim Barnett has selected his wife, Rosie Hansen, as his running mate as he runs for governor. The pair married in September, according to The Wichita Eagle.

“I’ve met and talked with people from all walks of life, from all over the state,” Barnett, a former state senator, said in a statement. “Many were qualified in some areas. Only a few were qualified in all three areas. It became clear that the one person who was best qualified in all areas was also the person who had spent the past 22 months traveling 70,000 miles with me: Rosemary Hansen, my wife.”

At least it’s more honest than the way the Clintons did it.

Hey, Kansas! It’s a Two-Fer!

Remember the Clinton’s Two-For the-Price-of-One? *SPIT*

Run from this RINO!

Good enough to marry. Not good enough to take his last name, eh ?

Its not like it hasn’t happened before in American history.

Yep. Just after you read about a stupid thing some Democrat did, some Republican comes along and says “I can top that!”.

If they lose, the dinner table at their home might not be the most pleasant place to be.

Senator Cindy McTraitor from AZ. The only thing that may stop that will be the fact that Ducey is up in November. What is the mood in AZ on this?

Why didn’t the Clintons think of this? Hillary could have reregistered in her girlhood home state of Illinois. Two for the price of one was already a campaign slogan.

“Kansas governor candidate Jim Barnett picks wife as running mate”

If she is that good, just run Madame Mao.

And skip the proposed family dynasty.
