I agree, it would be funny Tongue. SEBELIUSCARE (and this time for a real reason).

The last poll for the Sebelius/Roberts match-up: 52-38. For the Sebelius/Wolf match up: 46/39. Seriously I would only change the ratings of this race from Safe Rep to Likely Rep if Wolf wins the primary, and that's unlikely.

Sebelius is toxic right now.

Hopefully she stays out.

Better if the Dem. sacrificial lamb loses, than Sebelius losing and giving the Republicans a big laugh.

She's the reason Dems are on retreat, not offensive in the Senate.

She is probably not serious at this time. I can't see why she would want to go from the frying pan into the fire. She should probably retire, she must be exhausted.

Can you blame him?

That was my reaction too. I got quite a lot of stares on the way to work.

Please don't. She'll only hurt our chances in the governor's race, which is actually competitive.

I hope she runs. She won't win (that for sure), but it's time for democrats to start running ON Obamacare (see: Mark Pryor) and not AGAINST it, even in republican states. Because those democrats will probably lose this year, but if they really think Obamacare is a success and Americans will like it sooner than later, supporting it now would help them for future races, don't you think?

Oh, and I want to see the Kansas Tea Party ranting about how bad Sebelius is, too (specially the Westboro Church members). There may even be some GOP Congressmen saying "nice" and "not-misogynist-at-all" things about Sebelius. That may help in other races.

Best to run her in 2018 after Brownback peaces it. You know, after people forget about Obamacare.

Brad Dayspring thinks all Democratic candidates will lose, so he's a joke himself. That said, Sebelius has zero to lose by running.

I'd rather have our decent candidates run in years where they can win. Davis and Taylor are probably our best candidates for the job, and Sebelius in 2018 would be a great recruit for Kansas Democrats. I could see this becoming more competitive then than KS-Gov is now. We all know Kris Kobach is next in line.

According to the above-linked February PPP poll, Roberts's favorables are at 29-38, while Sebelius is at 38-55. It'd be interesting to see two unliked nominees who don't actually live in Kansas run against each other.

Since when is Roberts vulnerable? And why do they think running Sebelius will help the KS D's in any way?

I don't think she will either, but I'm talking about part of the article...

If anything Roberts is vulnerable to a primary challenger (kind of), not in the general election. I'm starting to think this was the product of a really slow news day.

Well, at least, she has name recognition, and seems to be extremely good for splitting the GOP between moderates and conservatives. She was elected governor twice. So yes, it's probably the "best" recruit the KS democratic could have.

Roberts seems to be the typical establishment republican who isn't moderate at all, but not crazy enough, so primary challenge. The primary in Kansas is rared likely Roberts though.
But seriously, if the gop tea partier wins, it would be more open, because HE'S LITERALLY CRAZY.
