Kansas Governor watch (early polling)

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

If I had to lay a bet, I'd still bet on brownback. He isn't even campaigning yet and will no doubt have a war chest that dwarfs the rolling school bus.

That poll was all sorts of weird. Davis owns the 60+ demographic while brownback destroys him on the youngsters????

Based on the constituency a rock (any rock) with the phrase Republican underneath it should win KS v. the very best Democrat the party could throw at the election 100% of the time. The fact that this is even a thing is like a mirror of the KU Football Is Hurting thread but KU is Brownback.

Kansas electing a Democrat governor isn't uncommon. Now electing a Democrat senator, that's a rare bird.

Good point

I love how all of KSU's claims have no basis in reality.

Look at the tax burden for Kansas....I mean middle of the road?!?! who does that!

Good thing Brownie is slashing that overly burdensome middle of the road policy.

What about pro-business policies you say?
oh wait...

Who does love being 44 in growth prospectus?!

Oh wait, you mean business are leaving the state or not getting started because Brownback and his cronies are destroying the health of the state?

Its almost as if his economic advisers haven't even taken Econ 101.

Edna is really down on Kansas... But you know what will fix all of Kansas's problems? Some good tax and spend liberal governance, that's what.

That's true, but Davis winning in this particular national midterm would be pretty shocking.

sorry for trying to provide facts   

CN: Brownbackistan since 2012 has become a shithole that no business want to come to.

Yeah all that spending we did under Graves or Sibelius when the state was actually growing and had money for schools, roads, and other socialist pieces of terrorism.

Yes, Sebelius and Graves clearly had much better economic policies and that's why KS prospered in the 90s and early 2000s, and Brownback clearly tanked the KS economy in 2008. This and no other reason. That damned Brownback and all his anti-business policies!!

It's times like these that I wish Sebelius were still in charge. Now that's a woman who knew how to manage things...

Because one is implementing pro-business policies, while the other does everything conceivable to make it harder to do business? I dunno, just for starters...

So pro business they're fleeing the state!   

And Brownines troubles have only accelerated since 2012 because of his policies, taken a nose dive in 2013, and are grinding the state's economy to a halt in 2014.  But hey, I'm sure it was all those potential capital gains taxes or something. 

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Please explain the actions Brownback has taken to cause businesses to "flee the state" and "grind the state's economy to a halt." Thanks, and I'll listen off the air.

[sonofdaxjones]

Wow, Kansas sure does elect some $hitty gov's.

I mean really:  Brownie, Kathy . . . wow, just wow.

Why would any liberal hate K-State, the K-State teaching core is filled with hardcore liberals.

Most hardcore liberals I know could give a crap about what school is what.  They just want to throw money at schools.

Corporations aren't real and can't flee, only people can flee.

Ya, companies would be knocking down the rough ridin' door if it weren't for brownback. 

Guy A: "hey, let's move the company to kansas"
Guy B: "no, they aren't business friendly, otherwise really great idea, I would love to relocate there"

Texas is pretty business friendly too. We wouldn't have oil and gas resources, a major port or a technology hub but for Gov. Perry.

Rest easy libtard fiscal hawks:

Kansas revenue exceeds expectations after three-month shortfall

http://www.bizjournals.com/wichita/morning_call/2014/08/kansas-revenue-exceeds-expectations-after-three.html?ana=e_wich_rdup&s=newsletter&ed=2014-08-01&u=11045160944f58d24b7e6e962a206e&t=1406902655

I wonder if the NYT will pick up this story as a follow-up to their scathing, "Kansas tax plan is an unmitigated dumpster fire --- see!!!!, look at the last 3 months" article.
