Whatever utility Tiahrt has seemed to have had in the past for bringing federal money to Wichita - in the aftermath of the Defense Dept. contract going overseas - has obviously been lost.

McClinton and McCray and Haley - projected nationally - are the reasons why it is withing the realistic grasp of Sen. Obama to become the next president of the United States. Or why Colin Powell could have become president 8 years ago had he chosen to run. Same thing with our mayor Carl Brewer. The trails blazed by public servants like Sens.
