This article goes into key dates and key races to watch for the 2010 elections. Will the pollsters be correct or will there be a surprise or two in the final count?

It’s too far off for any information to be credible.
Even here in Kansas it’s possible Brownback would decide not to run. I think that’s the only way we don’t see him as our state’s next governor, but, hey, it’s possible…
I have been wondering if we could impact the race for the 4th district seat to the U.S. House. The Republicans (which I am one of 🙂 ) have five candidates running and only one of them can make it past the primary level. I plan to watch the polls carefully to see who is leading, who needs a boost, who might be the best candidate — from my perspective — to go on to the general election.
I’m liking being a registered Republican in Kansas more each day. At the general election, registration doesn’t count since you vote for the person. So far I can’t see too many races with two or more qualified Democratic candidates that would require a vote at the primary level.
According to The Votemaster —
I think Brownback wants to be governor and then throw his hat into the ring for the big prize – the White House.
I think he is just waiting for the right moment and if he has to quit in the middle of his term – what does he care?
I wonder, if he runs for president while governor and loses his presidential bid, does that mean we ‘have’ to take him back as governor to finish his term?
But who is rumored to be his running mate? Has anyone even heard yet?
If a running mate has been selected, I missed the announcement.
I read some advice given by someone (can’t remember who or where) that Kansans should concentrate on the Attorney General race, given that Brownback will be governor. It would be much easier for Brownback to make Kansas a theocracy if he had the AG in his back pocket.
Oh no, I did not even think about that. Is that the cue for Phill Kline’s return?
Are Kansans that possessed? That driven by their need to control women’s reproductive health?
Yes! Too many!
Remember, we’re dealing with The Family and their goals.
Don’t ever forget that “C” Street bunch! They are dangerous!
I was just on the WE website and the comments about Roeder’s trial are very telling. For those who say they hate murder, they sure don’t seem to care about the murder of a doctor.
I’ll take your word for it — I trust you! And, it’s much better for my emotional and mental health to never go there again. 🙂
I really appreciated what 6176 told us earlier this week about voluntary manslaughter often being a lesser charge at murder trials. He spelled out also that the evidence provided at trial will determine what charges are applicable.
So, if what the news has told us is fact, the evidence should easily prove pre-meditated murder.
Remember too that 6176 said the motion to exclude the voluntary manslaughter charge could be made again after the evidence is finished.
I do hear what you’re saying about the attitudes of finding Roeder’s actions justified. Maybe someone will put a loaded gun to Roder’s head and kill him because they don’t like the legal job he performs. Isn’t that what they’re advocating?
