I was responding to the comment the candidate made himself. I was pretty much saying it if was from the Republicans, they need to get a better deep background guy. Because they could do better.

It was a sarcastic comment.

I think that they are doing that on the Roberts campaign against Orman and there may be something worth finding in that race. I don’t know if Brownback is doing it, but I think that opposition research, at least at the Google level is standard practice these days. You have to do something to keep those young volunteers busy.

Its not clear that Brownback broke this story...

Anyway, I think this will hurt Davis with women in Kansas. I’ve never looked at demographics, but my hunch is that the average voter is over 40 years old, and a woman here in Kansas. And a lot of them a) don’t like strip clubs b) believe all sorts of illegal things happen in strip clubs.

BTW, this is not completely out of nowhere, as far as Brownback is concerned. When he first took office, he and the legislature came very close to passing ‘no touch’ laws that would have really damaged the clubs - to the point of putting them out of business. Ultimately, they decided against it, because it was anti-business...but its not like this is a subject Brownback has never discussed before.

When this broke, it was a bad day for Davis and a good day for Brownback.

“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time,”

Not if you're in a strip club.

Yup. What’s good to attack Republicans with should be good to go after Democrats.

Didn’t mean to make it sound that way. I was mixing my thoughts.

“Wrong place at the wrong time.” IS the lamest of excuses and is the protestation and common lament of most jailbirds. I just found humor in this Democrat candidate actually using it.

For fun I wish a reporter would ask him why he was calling a legal business “The WRONG place.” It reeks of a guilty conscience about something going on at the club.

Chapman Rackaway is a leftist poli-sci professor who writes pro-RAT editorials for the KS papers, which are all leftist.

Yup. Hard to describe it to someone that hasn’t seen someone like that. Granted, she likely pegged the Hot/Crazy scale but I agree. Didn’t look real. Didn’t look surgical either.

Just a whole other level of physical beauty. Mentally? Probably a whole other level of ‘something else’.
