I would say if a Democrat had a chance in Kansas it would be in the news. Seeing that there is nothing in the news, then that is a good sign in my opinion.

There’s a lot of interesting races around the country that aren’t getting much polling. Flores vs Gonzales in Texas is one. Some internal polls there are showing a neck-and-neck race — far from the media’s portrayal that the race is in the bag for Gonzales. The only official public poll is from July.
I’m thinking that it’s easier for the media to bury their heads in the sand than admit that a hurricane is coming...

I still don’t understand the unhappiness with Brownback. What exactly did he do?

Democrats would like to forget Kansas.
I hated it when I lived there, but now it’s one of my top choices on alternatives to Colorado.

Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, ‘cause Kansas is going bye-bye!

I was going to make a similar remark, but I figured someone would beat me to it.

I agree. The only thing I think he is guilty of is being a very good Governor!
To: fwdude
He lowered taxes promising the lost revenues would be made up in growth, and the growth never came creating a fiscal mess…. Voters lambasted Republicans for the mess.

Brownback. Was a very good Govenor.

I wasn't a fan of the weather year round, but I did love Kansas City (at the time).

Everything’s up to date in Kansas City.

Western Kansas is indistinguishable from Eastern Colorado. Beautiful country, good people.

Kansas is tricky. Don’t forget the wretched Kathleen Sebelius was elected and re-elected there. You just can’t predict what happens there.

I have been checking regularly local media for polling data on the gubernatorial race, but the only I've seen is the one you mentioned from September showing the incumbent Laura Kelly leading by a very small amount.
Biden is very unpopular here and in the end, will sink Kelly.
BTW, Brownback's economic plan did not fail. It gave hardworking Kansans like me very welcome tax relief (it came at a time in my life when I really, really needed some help -- imagine that, a politician doing something to help middle class taxpayers).
There was a brief period when the revenues were coming in about 4% short (IIRC) of projections, but the Dems and their media allies made it sound as if the state was in bankruptcy. The situation corrected itself in a matter of months.
The Dems and their media allies are trying to connect the R gubernatorial candidate, Derek Schmidt, with Brownback. The Schmidt campaign is connecting Kelly with Biden and Pelosi. I like our chances in November.

I’m thinking of moving there just to get as far away from the rat race as is reasonably possible. Not the most exciting place to live, but that could be a bonus in the future.

The across-the-board budget cuts for a time have allowed for endless hectoring about ‘cutting funding for schools’ - which is pretty difficult to understand given the palatial nature of so many schools in Kansas.
Every dollar and grant for CAPITAL expenditures, and pennies for staffing.
Current challenger has been bearing the albatross of Brownback-sins with incredibly annoying and repetitive commercial blitz since back in (literally) January/February.
Given the overspend, and the complete lack of any official discussion of Covid response - I’m pretty sure the dumb-clucks will end up putting the Dem back in.
