The question is...will we stop this for 2008.
Kansans do not support Boyda and Moore’s liberalism, but they keep squeaking by due to this strategy.
It has to end.
Boyda has only squeaked by once. That problem will be remedied next year.
I'd like to say we would, but I don't see Kris Kobach as the leader to bring that about. After 2004 he has no credibility among the moderate wing, and this seems to be annoying the conservative wing.
Kris wants to be Senator. The only reason he went after the leadership position is to line up support for 2010, and the only election he has to strut his stuff in is 2008. So look at what's on the plate. No major state offices. Roberts is a lock for re-election in the Senate. Unless Moore runs against Roberts, he has to be considered a lock for the re-election in the 3rd district. The only races left with any visibility are Kansas 2nd Congressional and the Johnson County DA. Phill Kline will run again and if he's the candidate in the general then he's dead meat. He lost Johnson County by a 2:1 margin last year. Boyda will be vulnerable in the 2nd, but a bitter primary will weaken the chances of getting that back. The party leader has to show some leadership to unite the party in those two races. I don't think Kris can do that.
