A.G. race could be repeat

[atommom]

This could be a good sign ... this is a Dem who nearly beat Phill Kline a few years ago. Now that Kline's profile is so much higher, the question is whether he has gotten more or less popular... (I vote less, obviously!)

Democrat Chris Biggs -- still upbeat about his surprisingly strong performance in 2002 -- said Monday that he is open to the idea of making another bid for attorney general next year.

It would set up a rematch against Republican Attorney General Phill Kline, who has said he plans to seek re-election and who won the seat three years ago in a close race with Biggs.

"I haven't ruled it out," said Biggs, who lives in rural Geary County, where he once served as county prosecutor. "That's probably a question I've been getting two or three times a day."

Biggs surprised many in 2002 when he came from relative anonymity to nearly knock off Kline, who had served in prominent positions in the Legislature and had recently lost a close bid for Congress.

1. I think he might

just do it this time. Name recognition is up for him and he did well last time. Kline has to have offended a lot of the moderate Republicans out there. One thing I do know, or at least used to know, is that this states Republicans don't care for wackos in powerful positions. Oh well, never mind, I can't tell anymore. It seems wacko is the rule of the day.

I'll work for him if he runs, I'll work as hard as I can to see Kline go down.
