SHOCK!!! NEW YORK TIMES SCORES EARLY ROUNDS FOR KANSAS 3RD DISTRICT CONTENDER SHARICE 'NO SHOW' DAVIDS BY EPIC MARGIN: DO YOU BUY IT???

From the nation's paper of record . . .

"Our poll is a good result for Democrats so far."



Sure it is.

Reality: This thing seems like it's gonna be close and smarter political pundits are going to wait until after it's over to tell us that they were right.

The early weakness for Sharice Davids that our blog community identified FIRST . . . She's hiding from her opponent, reporters and the voting public.

Can a contender take on an incumbent solely through well-lit campaign commercials and an army of middle-class white lady volunteers??? We'll see.

Meanwhile, Congressman Yoder's Achilles heel has always been a charisma void that won't inspire any new voters to the ballot box.

For better or worse, this is a contest fought by way of cheesy TV commercials . . . Soft piano promises vs. scary narrator threats.

You decide . . .
