Obama's campaign has also been focusing some resources in the state, even though his chances of winning it are slim to none. It seems that the Democrats are doing their best to make inroads in traditionally Red States so that some time down the road, Democrats have a better shot at getting elected.

And in more news about the make up of Kansas politics, USA Today is doing a series that analyzes each state prior to the election and yesterday was Kasnas' turn.
For anyone who has worked in or is pretty familiar with the political landscape, this will be interesting, but mostly already stuff you know or could have guessed. For those new to the area or unfamiliar with politics here, this will probably be a pretty good crash course. I've worked with several of the people quoted in this article, and I think the frustration some of the moderates are feeling has certainly increased over the years. The Republican Party is having a hard time convincing a lot of Republicans that they actually uphold the traditional values of the party.
One quote in particular comes from the Executive Director of a moderate group in Kansas. He is talking about the selection of Palin for VP.
"There is a strong but silent majority who still have reservations," says Ryan Wright of the Kansas Traditional Republican Majority, whose members were recently ousted from the state national committee as too moderate. "One thing the last eight years has taught us is we don't want another inexperienced person in the White House," he says.
