It will be an interesting primary and definitely quite a change from previous Kansas GOP primaries where it usually pitted a conservative Republican against a moderate Republican.
To me, the immigration issue is so strong that (if I were a Kansas resident) would likely vote for Moran. Of second importance is the issue of earmarks. That too, would pretty much solidy my support for Moran.
Do what I do. When it comes to voting I do extensive research on the candidates, I check into their prior voting records and their own personal history and biography and then I make my mind up according to everything I discover. If only more Americans actually voted this way...

bttt
“Earmark” simply means that a project will be funded out of MONEY ALREADY APPROPRIATED!
Now, if you could show that the beneficiary of the earmark did not want it or need it? Well THEN you have a story.
There is an argument to be made that the Federal Bureaucracy is so hard to fight, sometimes Congress needs to FORCE an issue or an item through, with the use of EARMARKS.
It seems odd to me that the Conservative movement, which was so disappointed at McCain getting the nomination, is fighting the ONLY issue that McCain seemed to think was important! (How did the “earmark” issue work for McCain?)
Again, at the Dole Convention in San Diego, I HEARD Moran use the “Wingers” insult against the conservatives who had just taken control of the State Party.
Immigration is a huge difference. Earmarks are an increasing “right’ of those in office. Another compromising point. There needs to be a moratorium for 3-5 years on earmarks. Seriously.
We must remake the Republican from within to really change the internal dealings they make to gain office.
