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.

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?
