Plan B Forum

Gubernatorial is such a strange word. Reminds me of that peanut farmer from Plains GA,

Some of you may remember that I went to my county election commissioner's office and renounced my affiliation with the Republican party after Drumpf was elected. I never was a strong Republican. I only signed up because a neighbor wanted me, and maybe a dozen others, to write him in for a low level local office on the primary ballot so he wouldn't have to pay the filing fee to be on the Nov ballot. It worked. Independence is good.

Now we have Kris Kobach running against incumbent Governor/Dr Jeff Colyer MD. Knowing that Kobach is a Drumpf puppet, I could not see not requesting a Republican ballot at the pole. At the last announced count, Kobach was ahead of Dr Colyer by just over 100 votes. Mail in ballots have yet to be counted. I'm glad I voted. Those who supported Dr Colyer, but neglected to vote, should kick themselves in their collective butts.

As the current state's secretary of state, Kobach is supposed to be in charge of certifying the election. He as been TOLD by Gov Colyer to recuse himself from any probable recount or certification. He says he will.

Kobach has suggested such things as a national Muslim registry. He was instrumental in several cities across the country passing anti-immigrant laws, writing those laws for them while serving as the KS secretary of state. (It's apparently legal to moonlight.) ALL of those cities were sued with ACLU backing. Guess who was paid to defend the cities. Kobach.

In 2017, he was appointed the Vice Chairman and "driving force" behind the President Trump's Commission on Election Integrity, which purported to quantify the extent of voter fraud in the United States. The Trump administration dissolved the commission on January 3, 2018. Who would have guessed there was nothing to be found...

We have a bigot in the White House. We don't need one in the governor's mansion.

So, it seems that almost exactly half of the Republican voters in Kansas are not exceptionally bright.

I can renounce my republicanism again any time after Sept 1st.

I always thought it was about this guy heading to the lake.

Well, Carter WAS Gubernator of Georgia before he was elected Presidentator of the US...

Rather than request a ballot recount, Kansas gubernator Dr Jeff Coyer conceded to the Drumpf puppet Kris Kobach yesterday evening. It appeared as though the gap was widening as all 105 KS counties were counting provisional ballots. At last report, the gap was about 300 votes, Mail in Ballots have yet to be counted in most counties, but the governor figured those votes would probably not effect the final outcome.

I'm sorry he won't be on the ballot to get elected in November. I'd say re-elected except that he was the Lieutenant Gubernator under Sam Brownback who was tapped by President Drumpf for a job in his administration.

I'm not worried about soon-to-be former governor Colyer being able to make a living. 1994, Colyer opened a plastic/craniofacial surgery practice in Overland Park, Kansas and another across the state line in Kansas City, Missouri.

Now all we can hope for is that President Drumpf will require the new governor to become a member of his administration. I know that there is an opening since Omarosa was fired. I understand that Kobach still has to win in November, but in a pretty solid red state, he as a very good chance.

No no, I think it means "having the quality of being born a peanut."

Kansas' economic present condition and how it got there is one of Paul Krugman's favorite examples of how dogmatic Republicans never let a little actual data get in the way of their faith-based economic analysis.

Last week President Drumpf held a campaign rally in Topeka to support his "good friend" and puppet Kris Kobach. They have been replaying Drumpf's introduction of Kobach over and over as part of an ad for the current KS secretary of state. In his introduction Drumpf clearly mispronounces his name as Koback, not Kobock as Kris does. Apparently Kobach has been saying his name wrong all his life. I'm surprised they keep running it. Shows just how well Drumpf knows his "good friend" who served on his failed election fraud commission. Just what we need, a bigot governor.
