You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain |

 Send to email | Kansas elections, early returns in Policy and Politics |  By Thoughts
el 05-Aug-2008 | With only a handful of precincts reporting, Phill Kline appears to be going down in the Republican primary. We can only hope and pray that the second "l" continue to stand for "loser."
In the Board elections, the excellent Mary Ca Ralstin has the edge in the race to replace Sue Gamble, subtle creationist Robert Meissner is whopping rabid wingnut creationist Al Detrich, incumbent lunatic creationist Kathy Martin has a healthy lead over sane opponent Bill Pannabacker, and, in the race to replace Steve Abrams, David Dennis has the barest of leads (12 votes of 180 counted with 10 of 266 districts reporting). If David Dennis wins that race, and Ralstin wins hers, a pro-science majority is probable. Assuming Meissner wins (likely), the race to replace Bill Wagnon as the representative for Lawrence and eastern Topeka is likely to be the most vigorous race. Carolyn Campbell will surely appreciate any help you can give her.
If Kenig beats Ralstin, that'll be a race to watch. Kenig has been very cagey about science education, and some observers are calling him a stealth creationist. He could just be clueless about the issue, but that's not a vast improvement.
In other news, Lynn Jenkins has a slight margin over Jim Ryun in his bid to rematch against Nancy Boyda. Apparently Ryun hasn't figured out that Kansas voters don't care for him. Phill Kline is currently losing to Steve Howe by a rather impressive margin. Steve Abrams is likely to be the nominee in his Senate race, while Sue Gamble is in a tight race.
Will update this post after the counting is done. Read the comments on this post...

| Roberts faces stiff opposition | | I haven't written much about Jim Slattery's race to replace Memory Pills Roberts. Not because it isn't an interesting race, just because I haven't had much to say. Slattery knows Kansas and is experienced at winning elections there, Roberts has done a crappy job, and I hope Slattery wins. For more on his biography, check out the MyDD profile.

| Kansas politics in brief | | Bush's Brain, aka Turd Blossom, comes to Wichita to help "Memory Pills" Roberts remember how to run a campaign. Apparently Bob Dole is back in Kansas, too, bringing his special brand of medicine to boost a different part of the Roberts campaign. Looks like he's scared of Jim Slattery.
