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.

It's still pretty early in the voting, but state Senator Jim Barnett holds a solid and steady lead.
