RINO v Kobach

No need for a jury in this case. Secretary of State Kris Kobach is going to mop the floor with Jean Schodorf.

Schodorf left the Republican Party in 2012. Well, she didn't leave so much as she was thrown out of office. The former Republican state senator lost a primary election to a more conservative challenger in 2012 and promptly exited stage left from the GOP and announced she was changing her party affiliation less than a month later.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the Kansas populace breathed a collective sigh and said, good riddance.

But this bitter pill isn't going down easy. She's decided to challenge Kobach in what's sure to be a walloping beat down. 

By the way, while Schodorf is calling herself a Democrat these days, she still calls herself a Republican when it suits her. She is a member of the RINO Party, also known as the Traditional Republicans for Common Sense.

Blech. I anticipate a nasty, ugly fight, because no one inflames the left like the camera-ready, smooth-talking conservative Kris Kobach. There will be blood in the ring following the match, but unfortunately for Schodorf, the vast majority of it will be hers.

She plans to formally file for election on Oct. 11, but she may not even make it out of the Democratic primary. There is already a Democrat in the race, Mission Hills businessman Randy Rolston.
