Why did Paul Davis lose?

Brownback rode the massive republican wave to victory.

In other news, Nixon rode the massive anti-McGovern wave to victory in 1972!

You guys actually to want to add something of substance, or am I wasting my time?

Occam's Razor. It's not that complicated. Even if the year was only mildly good for Republicans, Brownback still would've lost.

Okay. Again, do you have anything to add, man? I'mn not trying to be a jerk. I'm decrying the degraded level of analysis here. Please don't try to use Occam's Razor again? And please don't hit me with Godwin's Law because of this post?

Dude, learn your history and culture- with regards to U.S. elections- and this is so much fun. It takes some time but lurk more.

You sound like a real asshole.

Why did Paul Davis lose? Kansas was really hurting under Governor Brownback and several Republican politicians endorsed Paul Davis.

And did picking Jill Docking as a running mate hurt Paul Davis?

Simple. Democrats tried to oust Roberts by pretending their candidate was an independent, forcing their own candidate out of the race. Roberts received funds, and the Republican turnout soared. Deaniac "50 state strategy - OMG we can win anywhere OMG!" helped put Brownback over the top. Thanks guys!

I guess the real Kansas decided jobs were more important than appeasing unionists.

You should really educate yourself on the success of the Dean strategy - too bad he's not really around anymore.

Have you noticed how much of a partisan hack you sound?
