Re: Kansas. Current state senate president and Cruella De Ville fan-girl, Susan Wagle, dropped out of the Republican candidate pool today. This almost certainly hands the Republican primary to Kris Kobach. Wagle was co-opting some of the crazies for herself. To be clear, Marshall is just as onerous as the rest of them, but the nuts have gravitated to either to Kobach of Wagle.

This positions Democrat Barbara Bollier for the overall win - granted, in a tight race. COVID-19 could be a factor in swaying older voters to Bollier, especially as Trump’s message has implied that their lives have less value than the economy.[/quote]

And Bollier's campaign just got another huge boost.  The deadline to file has passed and current Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, is not entering the race.  The GOP has been lobbying him to enter the race.  With his national profile and popularity among Republicans, he would have been the immediate favorite for both the nomination and the election.  But he declined to run, which strengthens the nomination for the controversial Kobach who is a much weaker candidate.  With the very large Republican slate, the money and support is split between several candidates while Bollier already has the Democratic nom locked up and is outraising the entiring Republican slate.  She is definitely favored over all remaining Republicans in the running, and in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat in nearly 100 years.
