Dennis Moore stands down

[Mr.Phips]

He either saw some really bad poll numbers or he's getting wind that the Republicans are going to carve up his district come redistricting time. Either way, I doubt the Dems will hold this district, unless they get a top-tier recruit and the Republicans have one of their moderate/conservative catfights in the primary (which is generally the only way Dems win in Kansas).

The district cannot be made much worse for him without turning KS-02 into a battleground.
