When's the last time a Democrat was a Senator from Kansas? Isn't it the 1920s or something?
I don't see any reason that'll change after 2010, but I wasn't seeing any reason why that would change anyway.
Bill Roy got within two points of Bob Dole in 1974 losing 51-49. He wasn't a joke. Jill Docking in 1996 lost 55-43 and was serious. Sally Thompson that same year was the State Treasurer.
The last Dem to win a Senate race there was 1932, which was also coincidentally the last time the Democratic nominee wasn't a joke.
Hmm, maybe Dems only win Senate races in Kansas in the midst of depressions.....that's a good omen for 2010, right?
