8. Chutzpah from someone who worked in Missouri before becoming Kansas AG

Yeah, Kris, that's exactly what I'm doing! Just Friday I sent my application packet off to an opening in...you guessed it! Northern California!

But while you were working in Missouri and touting Kansas values, perhaps you didn't notice the dismal state of the economy, created by Republicans, and the resultant bleak job prospects. Makes it tougher to "vote with our feet."

Oh, and here's this tidbit:

2004 election

In the 2004 election cycle, Kobach was the Republican nominee for Congress in the 3rd District, besting primary opponents Adam Taff and Patricia Lightner (Taff had previously lost the 2002 election for the same office to Dennis Moore,[18] and Lightner was a six-year veteran state legislator).[18]

He lost to incumbent Dennis Moore, 55%–43%. The victory was the largest of Moore's congressional campaigns.

Dennis Moore, Democrat, would still be kicking Repuke ass (and that includes you, Kris) if health concerns hadn't forced his retirement.

And what are the Kansans going to do? Panasonic Nov 2012 #1
