That district had been Republican going back to 1875 up until 1999. These are the type of districts that the GOP needs to pick off, because there’s no way places like that can be philisophically closer to Pelosi than to Palin.

It probably IS closer to Palin than Pelosi - but not by much. KS-3 is the quintessential moderate dictrict. Even when it was GOP back in the 1980's and 1990's, it was represented by people like Jan Meyers, who was a RINO in the mold of Olympia Snowe and Sue Collins. The district has both the Kansas side of the KC Metro area as well as Lawrence (where KU is at) in it, so that counterbalances the farm country in between.
