Firstly, Kobach is VERY STRONG on the immigration issue. He was in charge of the immigration division under Ashcroft, but disagrees with the administration on the need to stop at the border and deport illegals. Taff supports tuition for illegal students.

Secondly, Kobach is against Gays marrying, Taff is not.

Thirdly, Kobach is a graduate of Princeton, Harvard, and Oxford. He is a top scholar and athlete. While it is a little early to be making this statement, I think Kobach will eventually be one of the top leaders in the Republican Party. Taff is a lightweight. The liberals know they are in big trouble.

Lightner is running a very distant third with 4%. The lady needs to pull out.

for 1..the original piece is wrong..it's the 3rd district..not the 2nd. The 2nd is Jim Ryan against Nancy Boyda.

I'm in a Congress class right now so we are studying this Kobach race. This 3rd district is one of the only districts that really can change hands. Only a handful or districts are in play normally...Incumbants normally win their seat back. Kobach is an unapologetic conservative. Moore is a liberal who has made him self look moderate for this district. I met Kobach. I know the guy, he's the best candidate.

What you have to understand about this district is ...it's not only Kansas City, Overland Park...it uncludes some of Lawrence and the a lot of the kids I goto school with at KU. Therefore giving Moore like 95% of KU and most of the Lawrence vote. It's sick. When Kobach came to our class he had to walk through garbage everywhere saying "Kobach is a nazi" "Kobach kills puppies" "Kobach wants you dead" "Kobach teaches at MU"....when Moore came...this dude could have raped someone on campus and still would get 90% of the KU vote..it's amazing. Anyway..just a little insight.
