Awaiting Sebelius' Hand-picked Successor for AG

Well, the wait is on, and there's no way to be disappointed with whoever Sebelius picks to replace Morrison as Attorney General. I was one that didn't celebrate when Morrison resigned. From what I understand from insiders, even though I don't agree with his political positions, he took his job seriously and didn't run a very political office. When Kline was defeated, we knew we weren't going to have an AG with the fire in the belly to go after the abortion industry...Tiller specifically. But now what? Sebelius, who is CERTAINLY in Tiller's back pocket, gets to pick his replacement. Gee, I wonder what's going to happen here? We can't be disappointed by the pick because we know what to expect. It doesn't matter who it is, we can be sure our cause won't be advanced with the selection.

Abortion money funding campaign against Kline

From Kansas.com: Abortion politics animates AG race

Excerpt:

ProKanDo, the political action committee of Women's Health Care Services, the Wichita abortion clinic run by George Tiller, reported campaign spending of $304,108 from July 21 to Oct. 26. Its report showed spending of $81,247 on automated phone calls and another $95,700 in "member dues" to Kansans for Consumer Privacy Protection.

That is the group identified in a "Snoop Dog Kline" direct mail campaign accusing Kline of spending the last three years "snooping through women's private medical records on a personal crusade against abortion."

Like the direct mail flier, the ProKanDo phone message left with voters also takes Kline to task for his subpoenas of abortion medical records.

In the 2002 campaign, ProKanDo spent thousands of dollars in an unsuccessful attempt to beat Kline.

In addition to ProKanDo, Kansans for Life Saving Cures also has waded into the political fray with fliers that advocate Kline's defeat and urge support for Morrison and Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. This group reported raising $350,678 for the reporting period and spending $191,753.
