Former U.S. Senator Bob Dole wants GOPers to support Romney, while former Congressman Todd Tiahrt will support Santorum in Saturday's Kansas Republican presidential caucus.
The caucus event in our area is at Wellington High School.
Santorum undoubtedly is the favorite to win, with religious and cultural conservatives more likely to show up at caucus than your average Republican voter. Huckabee beat McCain in 2008, despite the fact that McCain pretty much had things wrapped up, which is (almost) the case with Romney.
But wouldn't it be nice to return to the era of Bob Dole Republicanism in Kansas? Or Nancy Kassabaum? Dole could be partisan and certainly was no liberal, but can you imagine anybody GOP leaders today winning bipartisan support for something like the American With Disabilities Act, or deficit reduction that included spending cuts and tax increases, like Dole did?
They'd be shouting about over-regulation and job-killing government meddling in the private sector.
