Sebelius flips the GOP's Parkinson

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, is set to announce her running mate at 9 a.m. Wednesday at KU's Edwards campus in Overland Park.

As the new week began, all indications were that her pick would be former Kansas Republican chairman Mark Parkinson.

And that would mean another upheaval in state politics and another blow to a state GOP beset for more than a decade by infighting between conservative and moderate factions.

With Montana on the verge of tipping blue can Kansas be far behind. If Kansas moderates swing to the Dem column this could be a fine November indeed!
