Shallenburger was a very good canidate, unfortunately he was outspent in the general election about 8 to 1. If I remember correctly Sebelius spent about 4 million to Shallenburger's 500K. Shallenburger spent all his money in the primary and couldn't get his message out during the general election. The republican national commitee said they were going to put 1 million into his campaign but it never materialized, the Kansas governorship seemed completely off the radar screen outside the state. It was a close election and if Shallenburger had sufficient funds I'm confident he would have won. Now we're stuck with Sebelius, at least we got a good AG in Phil Kline.

Shallenburger would have made a great governor. I was very disappointed to see him lose. I think what cost him the election was the sucess the demoRats had at portraying his as an "extreme" conservative. I know there were a lot of "moderate/RINO" republicans who crossed over and voted for the communist Sebelious.

I remember seeing alot of "Another Repulican for Sebelious" signs in Douglas county. D*mned fools if you ask me. I hope they're happy paying higher taxes.

Overall his campaign wasn't too whippy.
