Peg...you are spot on. Jim Ryun took this thing for granted. If you didn't catch his name on Nancy Boyda's commercials, you would have no idea against whom she was running. A real disappointment.
I still believe conservativism is alive and well...not just in our state, but in this country. This was a "party" loss, the dems had to put up conservatives to finally win. I take solace in that.
I'm still so baffled how KS became so liberal...of all states! I was astonished when I moved back home from Los Angeles to see all the libs and RINOs. So sad.
