Co-sign. It wasn’t all that long ago that, aside from the governor’s race, we here in Kansas thought we were pretty sure who was going to win what. And now . . . It’s going to be an interesting two months.
All this is the Tea Party’s doing–its privileging of ideology over governing for the good of the state has led to terrible fiscal decisions and real instability within the Republican Party. Moderate Republicans were ostracized from positions of power, and they’ve not taken too kindly to that fact–witness about 100 of them endorsing Davis this summer, and Orman’s drawing bipartisan support.

I have been saying for months that the teahadists had overplayed their hand in Kansas, and that Brownback had touched all three rails of Kansas politics. As the article says, this manuever is designed primarily to clear the decks and train all the guns on Brownback, with the secondary result of creating a massive shakeup in the Senate race.

I wish good luck to the voters in Kansas. Is there any way that Kobach can be voted out of office this cycle?
