Tiahrt is definitely the front runner.
And, I am not “making things up” -— it is very difficult to run for Federal office and work at any other job, at the same time. It might not be out right prohibited, but the PR of doing such a thing would be horrible, and the regulations on expenses would be a nightmare. It would sink her campaign, and harm Obama, and it will not happen.
Name ONE TIME, in history, that a sitting cabinet member has ever run for Senate, while holding the cabinet position, would you please?
It is stupid to even suggest that it might happen.
The voters in every other state will be mad as hell at Obama, for spending taxpayer money on a “part time” cabinet officer.
The voters in Kansas will be mad that Federal tax money is helping to BUY Obama a Senator.
You know nothing of real politics. EVERY President loses members of his own party, in mid term elections.
It is very likely that many Democrats, by this time next year, will BEG Obama not to step foot into their state. Obama will be a drag on other Democrats, and Republicans are guaranteed to pick up seats, the question is only: “How Many?” -— it is a foregone conclusion that 2010 will be a Republican year. Look at any period in history, for a mid term election.
Now, with that back drop, I hope Obama is as dumb as you are, and tries it.
However, I think Obama has more brains than you.
Maybe because he can count on her to inflate mortality and casualty estimates?

Thanks, he has my support.
Another troll on these posts claimed that Kobach would run for Senate.
You MUST be joking. Where does she go to Church?
