Is Todd Tiahrt’s biggest trouble the fact that he has seemingly abandoned the Kansas District that he has represented for nearly two decades?
News came out of the 4th District recently that a Democrat is actually leading all Congressional candidates in that district in campaign contributions as his Republican adversaries are waging a bitter fight to see who will become the party’s nominee. Has Todd Tiahrt put the Republican Party at risk in his home district by running an unlikely Senate campaign as opposed to continuing to represent the fourth?
While Mr. Tiahrt is currently trailing in funds and support, he has also failed to tap a successor to take his place in the fourth district. He might say that he is a conservative first, but shouldn’t part of his duty as a Republican congressman be to help ensure that his district remains in GOP hands a year from now? The fourth district was a Democratic stronghold for years, and Democrats view this seat as a possible pick-up in an otherwise bleak year.
Todd Tiahrt is continuing to show that he has no sense of loyalty to the GOP and that he is bad for the party. He needs to do something now to make sure that the 4th District remains in Republican hands.
Rememberingly Yours,
Publius

ReplyDeletePublius, Publius, Publius. Though who knows nothing of politics tries to chime in. The professor from Texas. Todd will win the race by at least 6 points.
