Dusty Dan

Could Dan Glickman come out of retirement and seek revenge against Tiahrt for beating him in 1994? It's getting some buzz.

The Palin chronicles

Amazing to me that some people think she's capable of being a national political figure. Her resignation/quitting shows that she really was never up to the job. Some GOPers are getting the idea, too.

The conservative choice

Tiahrt is touting his win in a straw poll in Olathe over Moran in the Senate race. This isn't a big surprise, as Tiahrt will be the choice of the religious conservatives, who dominate the GOP in Olathe.



June 29, 2009 316.265.2517

WICHITA – Todd Tiahrt’s decisive 165-46 victory over Jerry Moran in the Olathe Straw Poll Saturday capped a great week for the Tiahrt campaign. Not only did Tiahrt show strong support in a conservative bastion of Johnson County, his campaign organization demonstrated its ability to mobilize volunteers, get out votes and most importantly, to win.

Earlier in the week, the biggest endorsement of the Republican primary went Tiahrt’s way on Thursday, when the state’s most influential pro-life group, Kansans for Life, endorsed Tiahrt. That was followed the next day with dual endorsements from well-known conservative Tony Perkins and Family Research Council. Coupled with the previous week’s endorsements from Phyllis Schlafly, Eagle Forum and Concerned Women for America, Tiahrt had wrapped up early support from some heavy hitters.

There are more than thirteen months before the August 2010 primary and time for many highs and lows for both campaigns. However, until election night, it is hard to imagine either campaign having a better week than Tiahrt did last week.

Health care debate part II

New poll finds big support for public insurance option, similar to Medicare, for everyone. And this blogger asks where Sebelius is in this fight? Republicans are countering on the cost and deficit front - recent polls show Americans also worried about debt and over spending.

Making sense of Iran

Nice to see this traditional news story, making some sense of the splattering of Twitter and YouTube accounts coming from Iran. The NY Times writer is apparently one the of the few Western journalists left in Iran.
