Kansas 2010: Can anyone defeat Brownback?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It is only Republicans from the 2nd and 3 rd districts that have trouble caouse that is where the split is most profound. The candidates from the 1st and 4th despite being conservative are usually considered to be above the fray politically in the moderate vs conservative divide. I am not sure which district Brownback represented in the 90's but it doesn't matter since he has been a Senator so long and proabably has some good standing.  Moran and Brownback should cruise to victory as long as niether purposly identifies with one side or the other in that divide.

Senator Brownback should become Governor Brownback. The yellow brick road may not have led to the White House for him but instead it looks like it will run to Topeka.

Are both Tiahrt and Moran running for the Senate? If so I will support Moran since he is less likely to be in the pocket of big business on the immigration issue.  Moran has an B from Americans for Better Immigration while Tiahrt has a D. Recent votes have moved his grade up to a B- but I think this is an election ploy cause it was a D for three years straight. The difference should mean little and in some cases being conservative does not always mean being for tougher laws and enforcement on this issue.

And Brownback is hardly a golden oldie.  He could run for the Presidency again.  With one or two gubernatorial terms under his belt, who knows?

Roads can always being extended you know. Though I prefer him not to get close to the White House. His immigration record is pittiful but his reason is a little different from many other amnesty GOPers, like Boustany and Cannon whose motivation is appeasing business interests, With Brownback I think its more of religious belief that we need to help them cause its the right thing to do. This borders on populism and the right thing to do is not always whats best for the country.  Its a bit more respectable reason though.
