acroyear...the primary election results in Kansas, as 4 anti-evolutionary school board members are up, and a 5th is trying to get to be the candidate for a seat by taking out one of the pro-science members.
The DI endorses those 5. The DI wants this to be their big lawsuit where they overturn the very definition of science itself for the sake of religion.
btw, I don't know if Kansas is one of those states where you have to be registered in the party to vote. In Virginia, you don't, so you can vote for your party's best or you can try to vote for your opposing party's worst, whatever you choose. I'm sure some political scientist has some proof that its a better scheme, but I have no idea, myself.
Update: the pro-science side won 3 out of the 5, with one of those being a pro-science incumbent already, so its a net gain of 2 seats. And this is before the main election where a democrat may still put up a general challenge and take out the others, which happened in '99 in spite of this state's strong "red"ness, but even now if every incumbant won it would still be enough to undo the damage done.
"So that’s Connie Morris, Ken Willard, Brad Patzer, Jesse Hall, and John Bacon, who suck."in '99, it took the main election to get rid of the original anti-science bunch. here, the state has a chance to say no and save their party and their state's children, and one hell of a lawsuit which they will lose at the primaries.
