Kansas has voted for the Democrat for President once since 1936 (in LBJ’s landslide of 1964). If McCain has to worry about Kansas, the ‘Rats are heading for a 50-state sweep.
He doesn't.
Actually, it is not the politics of winning or losing Kansas, it’s the principle of the situation, if Boeing was trying to rip off the US Govt and by extension the US Taxpayer, then they should have lost the contract.
If the pentagon told Boeing they needed a plane that could do “x” then changed that to a plane that could do “y”, then the deal should be scrubbed.
