*YAWN*
This was a recruting failure for Democrats.
I have to disagree. It would be a tie at this point if it was a Sebelius-Moran matchup, and a slim lead for Governor Sebelius if the GOP had nominated Todd Tiahrt.
I don't see how that is at all possible given the trend in just about every other Senate race this year. Sebelius may be a kick-ass candidate for the Democrats, but really... what senate election this year could you point to that would give the Dems any hope of winning here?
West Virginia. It voted for McCain by a wider margn, but Macnhin is more popular than Sebelius, so I guess it evens out.
For those of you who don't know, the name Sebelius is like Carnahan in Missouri or Pryor in Arkansas.
Except Seblilius is a REPUBLICAN name. She took the Sebelius name from her husband (who left the GOP to become a Democrat), and that's how she got elected to insurance commisioner. She was really popular there. Then in 2002, recieving wide crossover support, becuase of her willingness to reach across the aisle (which is what the media focused on) and especially because of her last name (which always gets overlooked), she won the Governor's Mansion.
She would have won the Senate seat. I am sure of that.
Oh, and you can't run for office at the same time you have a cabinet position...
