I’ve been reading about Rob Wasinger for awhile now, and have seen nothing that would hint that he’s anything other than a solid conservative. Just because McCain endorsed him does not mean that his views are similar to McCain’s—McCain likely endorsed Wasinger because his colleague Sam Brownback supports Wasinger and he wants to stay on the good side of the next governor of Kansas (BTW, who was the most recent non-RINO GOP governor of KS?).
I’m sticking with pro-life champion Wasinger until I hear a valid reason to support someone else. Wasinger is a conservative Catholic with 8 children; I would have loved for conservative Protestant Andy Mayberry (who has, what, 9 kids?) to have defeated Vic Snyder in 2008. Like Mayberry, Wasinger would be able to get plenty of attention for conservative causes because his large family would make him an “interesting story” for the MSM.
William Avery 1965-67. He just died this month.
Huelskamp seems more conservative with Club For Growth support and the support of former Congressman Ryun.
McCain is the Kiss of Death for me in supporting anyone.
There are other Catholic political insiders like Rick Santorum trying to muddy the waters right now to pave the way for Willard M. Romney in 2012.
