Kansas Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt, R-Independence, is putting his young family ahead of higher office in opting not to challenge Gov. Kathleen Sebelius next year. Good for him. But Schmidt is one to watch for the future — which should be long, given that he’s 37. One of the sharper minds at the Statehouse, the attorney understands its political process and seems undaunted by the Kansas GOP’s infamous split.

Good for him. As a father of young children myself, I’m glad that he’s choosing to be with them because it’s very important – especially early in their lives.
I can probably speak for about 99% of all Kansans and say “who?”
But he probably does have a future for sure!
Ok, but what’s his stand on abortion and intelligent design? Forget about anything that really counts.
