First Out of the Gate

The fine people at Fire Dennis Moore have an online poll available that will be open until this Friday that allows readers to tell who they would support into eh 2006 KS third Congressional District primary. Since none of the six people in the poll have publicly announced they will be running for the seat we may be getting ahead of ourselves a little bit, but of political junkies the results of the poll will be interesting.

We may get a better glimpse into who is really interested in the seat later this month when the Kansas Republican Party holds its annual Kansas Days celebration. While I will be very surprised if anyone is officially running at that point with the importance of early fundraising it won't be long before a serious candidate for this seat or for Governor in '06 needs to start raising money and lining up support.

On a side note, the number one search term for this site is still Kris Kobach, based on the article I wrote explaining why I believe Kobach lost the 2004 election to Dennis Moore. Hopefully the Republican Party learns from its past mistakes and chooses a winner in 2006.
