Here is the latest Tiahrt press release. Apparently Moran has a lead in the first snapshot poll from last month, but Tiahrt hadn't officially announced. Will Sebelius take on the winner between these two on the Demo side?
Tiahrt Files FEC Papers to Make Senate Run Official
WICHITA—U.S. Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) today made his Senate candidacy official by filing his Federal Election Commission (FEC) statement of candidacy form with the Secretary of the U.S. Senate. The official filing allows Tiahrt to raise funds for his Senate campaign. Tiahrt's filing comes 18 months before the primary and 21 months before the general election in 2010.
Tiahrt announced Saturday that he was a candidate for the Senate in front of hundreds of Kansans gathered for Kansas Day weekend events in Topeka.
"It has been an honor serving the people of South-central Kansas as their Representative in Congress," said Tiahrt. "I now look forward to taking my leadership to the U.S. Senate on behalf of all Kansans. Everywhere I travel across our great state people are telling me we need conservative leadership they can trust. That is why I am running for the Senate.
"Filing FEC papers today makes my candidacy official, and I am eager to continue my conversation with Kansans as I travel around the state."
Tiahrt is the dean of the Kansas House congressional delegation serving in Congress since 1995. Since his first congressional run for the House in 1994, Tiahrt has raised more than $7.5 million in campaign contributions. As part of Tiahrt's commitment to investing in other Republican leaders, he has contributed and helped raise well over $1 million to local, state and federal candidates.

Congratulations Congressman Tiahrt. You will be an asset as a Senator!
Off topic, I saw your boy Chuck Todd take a beating on Morning Joe on MSNBC this morning because he was trying to blame everyone BUT the Democrats for all the horrible spending in this proposed new stimulus package. The host actually laughed at him and said that everyone knows it's Nancy Pelosi and the Dems who are trying to get all the pet projects in it, and the Republicans just want what's best for the economy. Todd was so obviously biased, I don't see how he can call himself an impartial journalist. He kept trying to argue and they finally just took him off the screen and continued without him. It really made him look bad.
