Unless he loses. Morrison has a solid reputation in Johnson County and the ability to pull disaffected Republicans. He also has a boatload of cash. And if Kline has problems with state-wide office like AG then what makes you think that Senate would be any better?
Ryun is a flake and he could be vulnurable because you know the Democrats will raise the issue of his townhouse purchase back in 2000 and try to tar him with his connections with DeLay. Moran would have a better chance at keeping the seat should Roberts retire. Failing him I'd pick Tihart over Ryun. But in either case if the Kansas GOP keeps fracturing the way it has been then any Republican will have to work harder than he should have to.
And that comment, Non-Sequitur, is why Dennis Moore has been all but unbeatable in the 3rd District. Moore has done a good job of riding his rewp as a DA in Johnson County to beat back the charges of "liberalism". Between the Democratic strongholds of Wynandotte and Douglas Counties, all Moore has to do is come close to breaking even in Johnson County to win the 3rd District.
In a state wide contest Kline will be at the disadvantage because the Drive-By Media has done everything in it's power to paint Kline as a hick right-wing boob. Morrisdon will be painted as the crusading DA who has come to rescue the State of Kansas from the religous fanatics who are running the Republican party.
At this time I would rate Kline's chances at slightly less than even.

"Disaffected Republicans" = liberal RINO apostates.
