Morrison was a RINO, who refused to run against conservative Kline for AG as he knew he would have to spend lots of money and still get beat. He then "became" and RAT, ran against Kline with millions out out-of-state funds (not to mention much coming from the abortion industry and Tiller's various PACs)beat him.

Then, to add insult to injury, Kline ran against current pals of Morrison in the Jo.Co. DA's office and was elected by the newly elected Johnson County Republican Precinct Committee Persons and became Johnson County's new D.A. (Morrison's former job - at $100,000 more than Morrison will be making as Kansas Attorney General, Kline's former job!)

Morrison is having to take a pay cut, Kline is looking over his shoulder at the backlog of cases in the DA's office and will still work on the cases that Tiller, et al have been paying pols to look the other way on.

The local liberal press and RATs, not to mention RINOs are apoplectic as Kline still has the Tiller files as well as those of Planned Parenthood who have been committing the same crimes (performing abortions on children WITHOUT notifying authorities of the crime of impregnating a girl who is underage.)

Tiller is still the special case, however, there were 30 charges against him just in 2003 that included, no reason being given for a late term, partial birth abortion (illegal), not reporting illegally impregnated children, some more than once, and performing abortions as late as 31 weeks for a "single instance of anxiety." Pretty ugly business.

Considering Kline's abysmal showing in the general I really think Morrison could have run against him in the primary and beaten him. But it's probably better this way to have Morrison out in the open. Given the split in the Kansas GOP he won't be the last Republican to leave.

Well, no. It was a raise but not a $100,000 one. The AG makes about $95,000 while the JoCo DA makes about the mid-$130's.

But salary aside taking the position aas Johnson County DA spells the end of Kline's political career. He should have taken a job in the private sector and watched for another opportunity. We have no Republicans with statewide name-recognition to run for Senate in 2008 if Pat Roberts doesn't run again, or in 2010 if Brownback keeps his promise to limit himself to two terms. And nobody to really challenge Parkinson for governor in 2010. The Kansas GOP has truly gotten itself in quite a pickle.

Not outside of Johnson County he won't. And if Kline couldn't come up with anything other than a few misdemeanor charges after 4 years in the AGs office what makes you think he can do better in the two years he'll have as Johnson County DA?
