I really like Ward, and if she gets the nomination, it would be stupid not to fully support her, and to even work for her campaign. She is much more preferable than John McCain. In a head to head race with Kilpatrick, it is hard to know which way it would go. It is that tight.

Ann Kilpatrick has managed to rally and energize more Democrats than usual, and she already has Phoenix, Tempe, and Tuscan largely locked up. Again, as usual, it depends on turnout in the greater Phoenix and rural areas. Will this number be great enough to overcome an energized Democratic ground game in the liberal cities proper, we don’t know.

No matter how this goes, it is going to be tougher sailing in the desert from here. As much damage as McCain (a regular turn-coat on many issues) has done nationally, in the past he did manage to pull enough of the moderate votes out of the Phoenix and Tuscan areas in a past elections to get elected.

As far as judges go, when did John McCain block a conservative jurist to the SCOTUS? Blocking Obama’s hard left wing activist judges and unqualified nominees was the right thing to do, period.

At the end of the day, the fact remains, GOP-e and other liberal east coast donors largely funded Dr. Marshall in Kansas. This has been well tracked and cycled.

As well, within this primary campaign, Dr. Marshall did not pretend to run so much as a conservative. Although, maybe what is happening here is that the new conservative is the old moderate, as America continues to generally move away from morality toward the acceptance of immorality.

An economic case in point, to modern every day Democrats (true Fabian socialists), the moderate republican would be considered a right wing extremist. While ultimately flawed from the beginning because of the belief in stronger federal governance over the states, many older Democrat voters really were not for socialism.

Now, as convoluted and hard to understand as it may be, Kansas has no choice but to elect a guy who was bought and paid for my the same GOP-e which has consistently worked against Trump, and worked to end many truly conservative candidates.

As stated above, it is the same GOP-e which really did pull the strings to take LTC Allen West out of the picture, as he represented a truly dynamic conservative threat to the “establishment.” The establishment is that bad. Going back in time, they tried twice to derail Reagan, in favor of moderate to liberal “establishment” candidates. This is not new.

Possibly. I’m hearing there was a lot of ag-related dissatisfaction with Huelskamp, but being a neverTrump HAD to hurt him badly too.
