Kansas Democrats will be showing up on more ballots this election year, but can they make gains on election night? When the dust had settled from last week’s filing deadline, Democrats had 154 candidates for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education races, compared with 135 in 2004, the last time the full Legislature was up for re-election. Meanwhile, Republicans have lined up 196 candidates, compared with 234 in 2004. Most of the new Democratic candidates are running for the House, where the GOP holds 78 of 125 seats.

Yes we will. Maybe not all, and we might not do as well as some other states in displacing republicans, but I think overall, yes, republicans should be afraid.
I think (hope) it will be a bad year for Republicans.
And my rep is still unopposed, except by her own party in the primary. What a choice. (big eye roll)
Tim Peterson at work. Or not.
You should have run, KGrrl.
This is the election when the American people rise up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
Not gonna take what Clark?
More tax increases?
More Socialist spending?
Oh, that’s what YOU WANT, isn’t it? Higher taxes and more spending on your lil pet pork projects.
Yeah well, captain, I’m pretty sure a middle aged, gray haired, overweight, cap wearin’ lesbian farmgrrl delivering the bad news about water isnt a great candidate to WIN an election in western Kansas.
Or anywhere in Kansas for that matter….
And did I mention both political parties hate me?
heheheheheheh!
Oops, Capn, not Clark.
Same difference.
“Higher taxes and more spending on your lil pet pork projects.”
Like the GOP ‘bridge to nowhere’? Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska pushed that one.
Or your boy Bush’s war – in the trillione!
“Same difference.”
No, I am much better looking.

Three word sentence answer for the question posed by Phil.
“Yes, We Can!””
The sentence structure is just too complex, can you please explain?
Can you build it?
“Yes, we can.”
Sounds like Bob the Builder.
Do you know how to build it?
“Yes, we can.”
What about the price of Gas?
“Yes, we can.”
How about all the tax increases you propose?
“Yes, we can.”
The new Democratic Party Mantra:
“Yes, we can.”
What about pulling out the troops in Iraq?
“Yes, we can.”
What about the Democratic party being the recipient of the most money from millionaires?
“Yes, we can.”
What happened to the party of the people?
“Yes, we can.”
I kept this small article from the Sunday, June 8, 2008 issue of the Eagle.
“Voter registration
Voters have until July 21 to register to vote in the August primary. As of Sunday, Republicans held their traditional statewide majority over Democrats in registrations.
There were 739,070 Republicans registered. 448,475 unaffiliated and 447,419 Democrats. There also were 9,103 Libertarians and 1,365 registered with the Reform Party.”
Looks to me like it’s very possible to out vote the Republicans.
It will be interesting to learn if registrations are increased this year? Will more people register before the primary deadline? And, will we see increased registrations before the fall elections? I hope the Eagle does an update on the numbers.
“Boy, you sure are enamored with yourself!”
Some folks are intelligent enough to recognize a bit of sarcasm – then there are the idiots……………

“Yes, we can!”
Tony Rezko?

He hasn’t passed any legislation in the US Senate?

He is admittedly the most liberal senator in the US Senate?

He is only on his second term in the US Senate?

Sat 20 years in a pew at church and could not remember radical statements being made by his Pastor.
“Yes, we can!”
WS,
Don’t you recognize a bit of levity?
American–
What you keep spamming the threads with may really slay them over at FreeRepublic, but here, not so much.
Get a new spiel to show how dumb you are, this one is getting old . . .
“Don’t you recognize a bit of levity?”
In the bullshit posts that you insist on entering on every thread, like a little boy waving his hand, trying to get attention, screaming “look at me! look at me!”
Is that what you mean, Scroll Over American?
Obama’s slogan is “Change we can believe in.”
I wonder what McSame’s slogan is?
Maybe “I’m not Bush. Unless you want me to be. Then I am.”
“Don’t you recognize a bit of levity?”
I recognize it as a pitiful attempt at levity, proving once again, not all Conservatives are stupid people, but all stupid people are Conservative.
In Kansas, it’s their effing base.

Oh, but the democrats are blind and cannot see!
WS,
Aren’t you the “boy” for still trying to live the life you lived in the 60s?
Didn’t wise up did you?
Capn,
I could substitute “Change we can believe in.” for “Yes , we can!” if you want?
Dance poodle dance!
“Aren’t you the “boy” for still trying to live the life you lived in the 60s?”
Huh? Which one of your orifices did you pull that “gem” from?
::: shaking my head :::
Ah, good to see that you’re still out, GoofNutz. I had heard a rumor that they had revoked your bail. Glad to see that isn’t true.
