The Less-Seen Democratic Landslide
This just in from the Washington Post:
. "Moderates in Kansas Decide They're Not in GOP Anymore" . "WICHITA -- Paul Morrison, a career prosecutor who specializes in putting killers behind bars, has the bulletproof résumé and the rugged looks of a law-and-order Republican, which is what he was until last year. That was when he announced he would run for attorney general -- as a Democrat...." . "As elsewhere, Democrats and moderate Republicans say they are frustrated with policies and practices they trace to Republican leadership, including the Iraq war, ballooning government spending, ethics violations and the influence of social conservatives. . ."A long-standing split among Kansas Republicans has deepened in recent years. One fresh sign came from the Johnson County Sun, which said it would endorse virtually the entire Democratic ticket, including Morrison and Parkinson, after endorsing fewer than a dozen Democrats in the past half-century. "So what in the world has happened?" publisher Steve Rose asked in a recent column. "The Republican Party has changed, and it has changed monumentally. " 6 comments from 5 users

If the Senate ends up tied between Republicans and Democrats, look for one -- maybe two-- Republicans to switch parties.. Definite possibilities are Lincoln Chafee and Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Campbell was a Democrat before, and he greatly dislikes the neo-fascist wing. posted by

If Dems get 50 seats, one of the Republicans they take out will be Chafee. He's losing to Whitehouse.

Where did you hear that, anon? It's overwhelmingly conservative, but not exclusively. It's also that despite Marylee seeming to dig up the one person who is running into the burning building this year, the media still has to report the news.

Anny, you've been lied to quite a bit *BY* the conservative media. Does that set your mind at ease?
