Krusor v Lanning

Pretty interesting story on the judges race from yesterday's paper. There is a big contrast in identity here, with Mark Krusor kind of representing the old guard and the established way. He's the democrat but enjoys plenty of republican support and has built many relationships over his years as an attorney in Winfield. His experience, knowledge and temperment are not questioned. LaDonna Lanning is the spoiler here, having upset several others to win the GOP nomination and playing in a male dominated world. You hear a lot about her confrontation style, or inability to get along, but is that true, or meaningful, or is it because she doesn't play by the old guard's rules and gets characterized unfairly?

Interesting that the only place your hearing that Lanning is confrontational is from the attorney's aka the good ole boy network. If she is would it have surfaced from all her years on the college board. A fact that is know is that the Cowley Bar Association is a bunch of spoiled little boys.
