Oh Please...that’s all they got on this guy?
Brownback has to do a lot better.
Who gives a crap. This will backfire since the only people who care are people who are going to vote for Brownback anyway.
Brownback has much more on Davis of a substantive nature and has been saying so in a media campaign and elsewhere. This didn’t come from his campaign, it’s what the New York Times decided was important. I’m sure that they had the same reaction as you, and that will certainly be true in Johnson County (KC suburb). But, elsewhere in the state, even among the members of the Teachers Union, this will go over like a fart in church.
“Oh Please...that’s all they got on this guy?”
Oh, not at all. I heard that Drudge will soon break a story about the time this guy drank a beer a frat party.
That is, of course, the point.
Its not clear that Brownback broke this story...
Anyway, I think this will hurt Davis with women in Kansas. I’ve never looked at demographics, but my hunch is that the average voter is over 40 years old, and a woman here in Kansas. And a lot of them a) don’t like strip clubs b) believe all sorts of illegal things happen in strip clubs.
BTW, this is not completely out of nowhere, as far as Brownback is concerned. When he first took office, he and the legislature came very close to passing ‘no touch’ laws that would have really damaged the clubs - to the point of putting them out of business. Ultimately, they decided against it, because it was anti-business...but its not like this is a subject Brownback has never discussed before.
When this broke, it was a bad day for Davis and a good day for Brownback.
