"Can anyone revive Kansas' decimated Democratic Party?"

"Washington Days is coming unglued.

The annual meeting of the Kansas Democratic Party has ground to a halt. In the windowless meeting room of the downtown Topeka Ramada Inn March 7, party leaders can't figure out where eastern Kansas ends and western Kansas begins. They can't even agree on the meaning of their own party's bylaws.

A proposal to elect two vice chairs, which was overwhelmingly rejected earlier in the day, is resurrected and approved, when delegates realize that they don't want to choose between the two nominees: Kathryn Focke of Manhattan and Melody McCray-Miller of Wichita."

This is an interesting article. Pretty much what I was aware of but deeper than I was aware. This is what happens when you don't fight back and you don't this about all the people. Love the picture that heads the article, it is a perfect description of the Democratic Party structure in this state and it is why we lose over and over again.
