Donald has been making the tour of the communities in the 4th district. Dan Glickman, who was defeated by Tiarht many years ago, was accompanying him and providing him with an introduction. Donald is quite young and it will be an uphill battle.
Tiarht's big issue now is the tanker contract that went to to Airbus. Boeing/Spirit is a major employer in this area and the loss of the contract will definitely hurt. While Tiarht works on this, he still has to deal with the issue that his presidential candidate was instrumental in keeping the contract out of Wichita and lobbyists for Airbus are currently his campaign advisors. If Tiarht is going to get shafted by his Republican cronies, then what good is he? And about that global warming---- |

While looking for something else on the political blog of the Wichita Eagle, I came across the item which I linked to above. Apparently, state senator Donald Betts, when confronted with a query about a congressional bid by the paper's editorial board, refused to deny such a bid was in the offing. All he offered was an expression of surprise, followed by "stay tuned." If he runs, he would be the first serious challenger to Tiahrt since Carlos Nolla held him to 54% of the vote in 2000.
