Dennis McKinney-can

State Treasurer Dennis McKinney spoke to Winfield Rotary Club today. There's been a little buzz about him possibly running for governor against Brownback. That won't happen this cycle. But, after hearing him today, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he will be Gov. of Kansas sometime this decade.

He's a Democrat, but moderate to conservative on the right issues
1) Pro gun rights
2) Speaks about his faith
3) Not big on government regulation

Plus he's got the character creditentials
1) Grew up on a farm
2) Still operations a farm
3) He's a resident of Greensburg, and a local hero from that tornado.

Something he said today was music to my ears. There's too much ideology in politics and not enough focus on solving problems.
