Catchphrases can be better than the candidates

Kansas campaigns have been low on snappy slogans this year. Don’t expect “Kathleen Sebelius. Leadership” and “Todd Tiahrt. Doing the right thing” to linger in the minds after the election. But we can enjoy Time magazine’s list of favorite slogans of 2006, including:
“How Hard Can It Be?” (Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman — in photo)
“Debbie Does Democracy” (Washington state legislative candidate)
“For the Love of God, Send Me to Tallahassee” (Florida legislative candidate)
“More of These Boobs” (Write-in candidate for Alabama governor whose T-shirts feature her slogan, her depicted cleavage, her opponents’ faces and the line, “And less of these boobs.”)
