She worked with Ted Kennedy on a health care reform measure back in the day and was fairly decent as Republicans go as I recall.

She was my Senator when I was seeking a nomination to the Naval Academy. Very gracious during the interview.

Bob Dole was my other Senator but he delegate the interview to a staffer.

who will not support either Kobach or Orman. Laura is looking good right now. The polls before all the announcements had her within one point of Kobach. I cannot imagine this state going for him knowing all that we know but they voted him in right after he broke the state republican party by mismanaging the money. He says he is going to double down on what Brownback did but really nobody was happy with that yet....he still is essentially tied with Laura. I think that many of the R's in this state never go beyond Fox so they don't know. Even they did not like Brownback and what he did the the state. I hope he is not allowed to count the votes this time or she will lose by winning. *Oops. Look at all those votes for Orman. Who knew? Sorry Kansas. That tiny bit of recovery you had after Brownback left? Back into the crapper only doubled down this time. Will he win? Probably, but I never give up.

Laura will be good for the state. She will bring sensible leadership that will help to right the state after all it has been through.
