These are *all* Republican counties. This is Kansas.
Still, lots of Kansas Republicans tend to be squishes, particularly the Johnson County country club types, but that county isn’t in this district.
Just wait until the Russian hacking kicks in.
JoCo is turning so blue now, it’s disgusting. I’m so disappointed - am curious how many are transplants who fled their liberal bastions to try and replicate what they fled from.

This is true but don't count out media manipulation. It's how we got Sebelius twice. With all the Brownback bashing, they almost got another liberal in the Governor's office. Also with all the Brownback bashing, we lost quite a few good conservatives in the Kansas House and Senate. Our local medias are terribly manipulative when it comes to politics.

Special elections are curious creatures. Republican Charles Djou won the Hawkins 1st District 2010 special election only to lose in November.
I saw some reporting that Estes is not a good candidate, so personalities may play a role in why this is closer than we’d like.
