JD at Evolution gives a good (as usual) quickie analysis of the Kansas Attorney General race. I have to agree that Phil Kline is acting like a complete idiot (Al Gore) with his fundraising and memo-writing. But unfortunately, all of the focus on this fundraising issue makes it difficult to judge who would do the best job in the AG's office.
As a JOCO resident, I'm familiar with Paul Morrison (even had lunch with him one time at Jose Pepper's in Olathe). He’s got a great record on criminal prosecutions, winning convictions of rapists and serial killers and all. But I've heard lawyer-types say that he lacks background and experience in constitutional law. Also, do I want to vote for someone who's willing to switch political parties just to get elected?
At the same time, do I want to support Kline if he's showing this amazingly poor judgment in campaign fundraising? And if his own staff/party doesn't support him, why should I (not to mention his apparent lack of respect for individual privacy rights).
Maybe I'll just wage a write-in campaign for JD.

I don't think Morrison left the Republican party "just to get elected".
ReplyDeleteI think he left because people like Phile Kline have pissed in the pool so long that he can't stand the stench any more.
Seems to be a lot of that going around.
Sorry about the typo. Didn't mean to type "Phile Kline".
ReplyDeleteMeant to type "tight-assed, right-wing, hypocritical, latent pervert, obsessed with teenaged sex".
Must have fat fingered a key somewhere.
My bad.
"fat fingered a key"
ReplyDeleteNow who's the pervert.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteBTW, What's up with the smoking chimp?
What happened to Kenny?
Or whoever the fuck that was.
