SHOCK: Kansas GOP asks Obama for bailout
Dirt Diver has learned that Kansas GOP chairwoman Amanda Adkins took an emergency flight to Washington D.C. this week to attend a meeting with Peter Orszag, White House Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The meeting was set up by RNC chairman Michael Steele at Adkins’ request.
According to sources familiar with the [...]
Ben Hodge: Nick Jordan is an empty suit
Former legislator-turned-outspoken political columnist Ben Hodge pulls no punches in a scathing article on KS-03 congressional candidate Nick Jordan, in essence calling him George W. Bush with less “gravitas.” The headline is priceless.
The Nick Jordan story is a fascinating one – just two years ago he was the runaway favorite in the GOP primary and [...]
Stop giving money to Sam Brownback
Nothing against Sam Brownback – it’s just that he doesn’t need the cash since he’s running unopposed. Whatever you were going to send him, send it to another candidate instead. If you write a check to Brownback, it’ll just go for more booze at the inauguration ball.
Wasinger Campaign Death Watch
Going out on a limb today to predict the ultimate demise of the Wasinger campaign, after the Right Kansas blog posted 4th quarter fundraising numbers…in short, Wasinger isn’t keeping pace. In fact, he’s now in 3rd place behind Jim Barnett and in danger of splitting the conservative vote with Wasinger, meaning the moderate Barnett would [...]

Update: The Moran campaign responded vigorously to the Diver via email today – apparently the hardworking staffers at Moran for Senate don’t see the humor in the photo to the left. Here’s the verbatim response from a Moran spokeswoman:
Ironically, Todd Tiahrt is a co-sponsor and supporter of the DREAM Act, which explicitly provided benefits such [...]
Raj Goyle’s Democrat Problem
The Wichita Liberty wrote up a story yesterday about how Raj Goyle doesn’t want anyone to know he’s a Democrat. We can’t blame Raj for that, since Democrats in Kansas are generally not electable, unless they’re turncoat Republicans who switched parties (see Paul Morrison and Mark Parkinson) or liberals who use the brilliant tactic of [...]

Dirt Diver scoops Kansas media with breaking news of Christian Morgan’s fiscal ineptitude
UPDATE:This story is now breaking all over the Kansas media, and it appears the biggest loser so far isn’t CiCi Rojas, but Kris Kobach. Regardless of who is to blame, it appears Kobach has the most to lose due to his campaign for Secretary of State. In the mean time, the Kansas media is still [...]
