For those of us who support evolution, the incumbents who voted for the intelligent design standards are:
John Bacon (seat 003) Connie Morris (seat 005) Ken Willard (seat 007)
Seat 009 is an open seat (the creationist incumbent retired)
The democratic incumbent in seat 001 (Janet Waugh) voted against the intelligent design standards. She is being challenged by a creationist democrat.
Maybe not. If Moore runs for Senate I'll bet the Democrats can get Carol Marinovich to run for his seat. She'd be hard to beat, especially considering how split the Republicans are in Johnson County. They pretty much beat themselves in the last 4 elections.
The reported votes are still way, way too few to be sure of much of anything yet.
Creationism (as well as ID) isn't science
Well, it would be easier in an open seat. Moore should be facing a tougher race this year no matter the status of the gubernatorial race.
You'll certainly get no argument on that from me. LOL
Wyandotte County Executive Carol Marinovich would be a tough opponent, but won't Johnson County RINO's be suspicious of a Kansas City Democrat?
Orrin Hatch and Richard Lugar are professional Senators. Pat's not. I'm not saying he won't run. I haven't heard one way or the other. I imagine the 2006 results might influence his decision.
And here's a trivia question for you. Who's congressional seat did Pat Robert's fill in Congress when he retired in 1981? Answer is Keith Sebelius, the current governor's father-in-law.
Governor / Lt. Governor (R)

I lived OOT for the last several years. When did Johnson County become filled with all the RINOs?
Two years ago Kris Kobach, the conservative candidate, won a very bitter primary. Moore beat him in the general election by 10 points. Two years before that Adam Taff, the moderate Republican, won a very bitter primary. Moore beat him by 3 points. Two years before that it was conservative Phill Kline who won a bitter primary. He lost to Moore by 3 points. See the pattern? So long as the Republicans are divided a Democrat has a chance.
I don't know, having lived in Kansas. Perhaps all those corporations opening offices in the Overland Park area brought in a lot of country club types from other states.

Rock Chalk Jay Hawk PING!...Thanks!
Depends on the GOP candidate. In the past it's seemed that a moderate Democrate has been prefereable to a conservative Republican. Marinovich is a moderate, pro-business Democrat who can honestly say she has lowered taxes. Add to that the fact that the 3rd district includes Wyandotte and Lawrence and you've got the two Democratic strongholds in the state giving their candidate a leg up.
Placemarker for later, and thanks for starting the thread to track this. I'm very interested in the school board race.
More likely it happened when the Cathy Martins and the Connie Morris' became the face of the GOP.
I predict that Canfield will run strongest in the Wichita area. Although Robin Jennison isn't a RINO, he's been seeking that vote, so will do better in the Kansas City/Lawrence/Overton Park area. Barnett has a base in the southwest part of the state (he's from Emporia).
The sparcely populated central and western parts of the state hold the key to the outcome, as far as I can tell.
That's a pretty good guess. It all depends on who is maddest, which varies based on hunter versus hunted. Position holders are always meeker than challengers. So you get the flip-flop.
