    Number of comments: 0
    I have been asked to change the name of my blog so that it is clear I have no relationship to the Tim Huelskamp for Congress campaign.Under normal circumstances, I would delete this blog now that I've started a new one, Right Kansas. However, in light of the recent hit' [...]

  • First District Growth

    The Hutchinson News has a great editorial up that you'll want to take a look at. As Wasinger and company take their strategy national, things continue to turn sour in the big first regarding carpetbaggers wanting an office with power.' [...]

  • Bogger wars go national

    Number of comments: 1
    It's the joke that never dies.Over the past couple of days, Rob Wasinger has begun reaching out to national blogs and posting his thoughts and comments there. It's difficult for me to be critical of this as more information from candidates is good and I appreciate someone willing to use [...]

  • Mann up

    Number of comments: 8
    In light of the Salina Journal article on Tracey Mann, I thought my quick campaign finance search would be of interest.Described as "conservative, but not ideologic," Mann understands agriculture and "the importance of small business to central and western Kansas" Hemmer said.Yes, that conservative label is awfully handy isn't it?'

  • Huelskamp continues to fight for 2nd amendment rights, defund PP

    Number of comments: 0
    It's easy to see why Kansans for Life decided to endorse Sen. Huelskamp.An amendment was successfully adopted by the Kansas Senate that would de-fund Planned Parenthood in Kansas during the next budget year. Although the amendment still faces several hurdles, mainly pro-abortion Gov. Sebelius, the amendment just goes to show [...]

  • KFL endorses Huelskamp, makes life awful tough on Wasinger

    Number of comments: 1
    While I left the country for spring break, it seems politics never takes a break anymore.Kansans for Life took the unprecedented step of endorsing Sen. Tim Huelskamp for Congress a few days ago, which makes it, I'm sure, the earliest endorsement of a candidate in KFL history.What makes this endorsement' [...]

    Number of comments: 12
    When I started my blog, I began with just a quick google search of Rob Wasinger. I didn't know who he was or even where he was from, so I wanted to know more about him. Quite honestly, someone from Sen. Brownback's office didn't seem like they could be that [...]

Tim Huelskamp (in photo), R-Fowler, on the proposal by [...]

    After being an Obama groupie for over a year now, Sebelius finally got a little lovin' with an HHS nomination today.I can't say that I'm thrilled for the governor. While I'm happy she's leaving Kansas (hell, I'd help her pack the U-Haul), she's potentially going to be in a position' [...]

  • Is another move in Wasinger's future, or has it already happened?

    Number of comments: 14
    Throughout the short campaign so far, Rob Wasinger has attempted to portray himself as a Kansan who was simply returning to his roots.It's been a delicate balancing act because he still owns a nearly $1 million home in Virginia that he hasn't been able to unload. To further compound the [...]

    Number of comments: 9
    In what can only be described as expected, Rob Wasinger raised just under 3.4% of total itemized contributions from within Kansas.What is somewhat unexpected is his inability to itemize a single contributor from within the district he hopes to represent.As the charts above demonstrate, Huelskamp is the clear winner in [...]
