LaDonna Lanning pulled off YET ANOTHER UPSET and will become the next District Court Judge in Cowley County. This has surprised just about everybody I've talked to. I yelled "holy ...." last night when I checked the results on the computer. Not only that but she won by 10 percentage points 55 to 45 (exact opposite of my lame prediction, which included several lame predictions about Goyle being closer to Pompeo and two Democrats - McKinney for Treasurer and Six for Attorney General - winning statewide races. They both lost soundly.)
In Krusor's case, goes to show you that money and prominence don't automatically make you a political winner. And that voters may not be that interested in what the other attorneys have to say.
Course Lanning benefited from the GOP wave. You have to wonder what the result would have been in a Democratic year, or an average year.
But Lanning ran a good campaign with a good message - fair, compassionate and independent. Helped that she was the outsider in a year a huge change election. She also knocked on doors and women related to her taking her on what is perceived as a boys club.

Maybe people just liked her and that is why she won.
I have to wonder if T Krusors invovlment in the State Democratic Party had an effect on the race?
Not sure it was all due to the Republican Wave - agree that the Women Vote and backing of many prominant women in business helped
Lanning!
Finally, a judge who looks like they belong in a Robe!
BEWARE MEN!

My High School English teacher would have a field day with you.
