Kobach to announce for Senate next month, report says.

Crappy GOP candidates who don't know when to call it a day: the gift that keeps on giving.

Although he's almost certainly not beatable in a federal race in a presidential year, watching the GOP squirm over yet another race that should be a complete cakewalk will be pretty funny.

Kansas may be trending dem, but losing the state by 10 instead by 20 doesn't change the outcome

No, Kansas is not trending Democratic just because Laura Kelly narrowly won the Governorship and Davids flipped a House Seat that Clinton won in 2016. Laura Kelly will lose in 2022.

Whether or not Kelly loses is dependent on who is President. If Republicans want to beat her they are going to have to sacrifice Trump's presidency because another Trump midterm would not be good for Republicans.

Kelly would still lose in a Trump second term Midterm if Republicans could nominate an A-tier candidate.

Or she could become ultra popular and cruise to re-election like Baker even in a hostile environment. Far too early to tell.

Brent Welder posted a poll on Facebook asking whether Democrats want a "progressive" or a "corporate centrist". Sounds to me like he wants to run. I like Brent on a personal level; he and his wife are wonderful people but he is absolutely not my preferred candidate for US Senate. Run for State House or State Senate maybe...

Yeah if there's ever a race where the Democrats need a Consensus Building Bipartisan Moderate, it's this one.

I think I will have trouble controlling my laughter if Republicans piss away this seat
