A poll by Rasmussen Reports from about a week ago has Selebius leading by 48% to 39%, although I'm currently unable to find it.
I think that this race is still in contention. It's more important than it looks because IMHO Selebius has national ambitions (U.S. Senate or the Vice Presidency).
She's toast for Senate. Blue Governors in Red States have a lousy record of winning races for Senate when national issues (i.e. WOT and Judges) become important.
She could be an attractive VP pick for some people, but it certainly won't be for Hillary. Edwards won't pick her either because he's as 'good looking' (slimy, but good looking slimy) as she is and it'll start all sorts of rumors about affairs and stuff. Yes, it'll be silly, and yes, it's not fair that it only happens to attractive people, but it'll happen.
I could see her being a VP pick for someone like Feingold. But unless the nutroots has even more influence in the party then they currently do, he'll go nowhere.
Anyhow, I could see this being a sleeper race, but it certainly doesn't look good. Does anybody remember how she won in 2002 in the first place? Who the heck did we run against her? I'm guessing he either ran the worst campaign in the history of the planet or was slightly less abrasive then Alexander Haig in the personality department.
Are you saying Hillary's radical sister has national ambition?
If you're right then her lead is widening.
It's more important than it looks because IMHO Selebius has national ambitions (U.S. Senate or the Vice Presidency).
Dennis Moore will run for the Senate in 2008. I don't think they'll want a primary fight so I think Sebelius will finish her second term and run for Brownback's seat.
