Docking insists she isn’t running

Jill Docking called The Eagle editorial board Friday to dispel rampant gossip, including on this blog, that she might be Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ running mate. Not true, said Docking, a Wichita Democrat who ran for U.S. Senate in 1996.
“I will do whatever I can to support this governor,” said Docking. “However, serving as lieutenant governor is not something she and I have talked about, and it’s not something I’d be interested in at this time in my life.”
The governor is expected to announce the choice next week.

    That’s too bad. Docking on the ticket would be good for Wichita, good for Kansas, and good for the Governor’s reelection.

    That’s about the only way she’ll lose.

    Jill’s making a ton of money as a broker at AG Edwards. She’s a lib, so she’s dumb, but she’s not stupid.

    Jill Docking might be making money at A.G. Edwards but she’s not making history. Now’s the time for her to run for Governor and become the third Docking Kansas Governor in 50 years … practically a dynasty.
