I say we try running Taff again, so another candidate doesn't have to build an organization from scratch.

So sad there's no challenger for Brownback yet. (heh heh heh . . .)

That 3rd district seat is so galling. We run a Conservative and RINOs vote Moore, we run a "moderate" (sic) and Conservatives don't vote at all. Taff's biggest problem was no truly strong GOP candidate to provide coattails in the Governor's race. Jerry Moran should've run, and would've prevailed easily, perhaps helping Taff into office. I'm not sure who would be particularly strong at this point, but one thing is clear, we're going to need someone who can match Moore in the $$ department, and he is not going to go underfunded.

Taff ran an outstanding campaign last election. In 10 months he went from no name recongnition and no money, to winning the primary against a candidate with a much larger kitty. He was defeated by only a 7200 vote difference with a two term encumbent that had several million in his kitty.
Last election was a wing and prayer when Taff started out with so little time, and he almost... almost, pulled it off. This election is a slam dunk for him. He has great leadership skills and an outstanding work ethic. I look forward to him representing us in Congress.

I really like Senator Brownbacks new S. res.82 on Iran. Any measures to educate people in the Middle East via media outlets need to be implemented. Here is a paragraph from the resolution:

"We are on the verge of an historic shift inside Iran. It is in America's best interest to support the Iranian people as they struggle for freedom.

The first step is to unequivocally stand in solidarity with the Iranian people against this terrorist regime. To that end, Sen. Wyden "
