Kansas-Gov, AG: Sebelius leads Dem surge

***Sebelius continues to lead the revitalization of her state's Democratic Party ***

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has banked nearly $2.1 million as she awaits the winner of the Aug. 1 Republican Party primary.

The three leading Republican hopefuls in a field of seven have spent a combined total of approximately $600,000 this year.

And in the attorney general's race, newly converted Democrat Paul Morrison has $764,839 on hand for his November general election matchup against Republican incumbent Phill Kline, who had $418,492.

"Sebelius has successfully split the Republican Party in Kansas," said Bob Beatty, political science professor at Washburn University.

"The divide between the moderates and conservatives has just become stark with the phenomenon of Kathleen Sebelius," he said.


And she is a phenomenon. First elected because of the split in the state's Republican Party between moderates and the "evolution didn't happen" loons, Sebelius wasn't content to serve out her term. Instead, she's tirelessly worked to bring over those disenchanted moderates over to the Democratic side (including a former state chair of the Republican Party). In a state that was hopelessly Republican just a short four years ago, she has methodically made the case for the Democratic Party and worked to win new converts. It's nothing short of remarkable.

Sebelius is a rock star, and my favorite for the veep nod in 2008.

Governor Kathy Sebelius' press release, on the decision of the GOP dominated school board to teach creation science:

"This is just the latest in a series of troubling decisions by the Board of Education,'' Sebelius said in a statement e-mailed to reporters. ``If we're going to continue to bring high-tech jobs to Kansas and move our state forward, we need to strengthen science standards, not weaken them.''
