A slight Republican crack-up in Kansas

[136or142]

This would be better in the Kansas state megathread, but I can't find it (if there is one.)

FF whether or not she joins the Democratic Party.

I can see her potentially defecting now. It's not like it would hurt her electorally to switch since her district shifted from 50-48 Obama to 57-36 Clinton, and she'd probably be more likely to survive a Dem primary than a GOP primary now. She also now has nothing left to lose now that she got stripped of committee assignments.

Laura Kelly is gonna win this primary and Democrats will shoot themselves in the foot again.

Laura Kelly is literally the only candidate with any shot.

Josh Svaty would like a word.

Kansas thread is here (but mostly - about Governor and state legislative elections):

And Bollier is not simply "centrist". She was one of the recognized leaders of moderate-to-liberal faction of Kansas Republicans: first in state House, and now - in state Senate.

BTW - what's the problem with supporting candidate of other party? When i began to study Amertican politics - literally thousands of Democratic officeholders of all ranks refused to support George McGovern for president (mostly - from the South, but - not only), many - openly supported Nixon, and nobody even thought about any sort of "punishment". While now if an officeholder of one party supports a candidate of another - it's a "story" of "worldwide importance". After all - WHY NOT?

There's a Kansas megathread in the Gubernatorial/Statewide board.

Huh.

Republican crack-ups seem to be happening a lot in Kansas.
