Kansans have already invested $1.4 million in presidential campaigns since this race got off to its early start, according to finance documents filed Feb. 1. Even though Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, dropped out, he still has the most Sunflower State campaign cash. But Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a long-shot Republican candidate who will be in Wichita Friday evening, has quietly raised almost $134,000. About $45,000 of that came from the Wichita area. That’s more than Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, who sits in third place statewide with $131,000. (Get a breakdown of all the candidates here. And get a list of Kansas’ biggest donors here.)
Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee both plan visits to Kansas before Saturday’s caucuses. Read more about that here.

Ron Paul in 2008!
Brent, Haven’t seen you at the city council meetings lately. Deb Gruver covered the last one. Are you going national on us?
Go Huck!
