Moran endorsements

Below is a blog entry from KC STAR columnist Mike Hendricks.

"Don’t overlook the significance of last week’s endorsement spree by U.S. Senate hopeful Jerry Moran.

In his battle with fellow Republican Todd Tiahrt in Kansas’ 2010 U.S. Senate primary, the impressive list of Johnson County mayors that Moran trotted out ranks as a hugely significant development.

Seven Johnson County mayors backed Moran: Overland Park’s Carl Gerlach, Lenexa’s Mike Boehm, Leawood’s Peggy Dunn, Olathe’s Mike Copeland, Shawnee’s Jeff Meyers, Prairie Village’s Ron Shaffer, and Mission’s Laura McConwell.

Yeah, it’s just a bunch of endorsements. But with Moran hailing from Hays and Tiahrt from Wichtia, Johnson County Republicans are as valuable as Satchel Paige autographs.

The mayors’ verdict will reverberate all over the state’s most populous county."

I am more of a moderate so I am for Moran. But I seem to be in the minority anymore so I bet Todd will win.

Interesting statements by crazy Mr. Roeder yesterday in the Wichita paper. He and Todd are supporters of the same group.
