GOP left wing rebellion is failing Much ado was made last week when Democratic candidate Paul Davis trotted out a troop of disaffected Republicans who support his campaign for governor over the incumbent, Re- publican Sam Brownback. The group, calling itself Republicans for Kansas Values, represented a virtual Who’s Who of the old “moderate” wing of the GOP, people who used to run the Republican Party – and the state. Prominent among them were Insurance Commissioner Sandy Prager, three former presidents of the Kansas Senate and three former House speakers, the Associated Press reported. A Salina-area state representative, J.R. Claeys, raised some ire by commenting that Davis has “raided the nursing home” to scrape up some former Republican leaders. Many are re- tired – or had been retired by the voters – but most are far from a nursing home. Mr. Davis had egg on his face by the end of the day when for- mer U.S. Rep. Jan Meyers of Johnson County, now 85, denied that she had endorsed the Democrat for governor. “There must have been some miscommunication,” she told a reporter, while admitting she had joined the new Republican group, which she said reflects her moderate views. She said she was trying to stay out of the race, but if she did endorse anyone, it would be Mr. Brownback, “our Republican candidate.” Davis campaign spokesmen referred questions to the Re- publican group, but eventually had to admit it is not acutally an independent group, but a part of the Davis campaign – an interesting twist in itself.
