Kansas about to be saddled with Sam (snowflake babies) Brownback for gov

[demtenjeep]

Topeka — With a signature and a check for the $1,920 filing fee, U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., on Tuesday officially entered the 2010 race for governor.

His newly announced lieutenant governor running mate, state Sen. Jeff Colyer, R-Overland Park, said to Brownback, “There’s no turning back now.”

The two then gave short speeches to enthusiastic supporters. The candidates promised to rebuild the economy, lower taxes, change the school finance formula, and focus on families.

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) is leading the opposition to the H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Yesterday, during debate on the bill, he held up a picture of an embryo drawn by a 7-year-old girl. Relaying a conversation with the girl’s mother, Brownback said the embryo was asking the Senate, “Are you going to kill me?” Watch it:

1. the sad thing is we have no real viable Democratic candidate

and Brownback thinks he is just going to waltz right in


You think Kansas is screwed now...just wait

2. A depressing place... n/t

3. Yes we do have a candidate and posts like yours are NOT helpful!

Holland will never win as long as we give it to Brownback while pretending there is no Democrat in the race.

6. then he needs to make himself known

I would campaign for him


What is he doing to get his name out?

7. Do you read your local paper?

Holland announced his running mate yesterday. It was top story on local news and on the front page of our paper. I don't understand how anyone wouldn't know.

There have also been several fundraisers here. Surely there have been some in your area.

8. I did read the blurb about the running mate

but I have not heard anything about fundraisers

4. This is a discussion that never should have taken place

Howard Dean should have been Secretary of HHS, and Sibelius should have kept the Kansas governor's seat firmly in Democratic hands.

5. Sebelius was in the middle of her second and final term

We would still need a new Dem candidate if she was governor.
