Karen Handel and Pamela Gorman are beat on Facebook by Patricia Lightner

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary)  |  June 24th at 07:04 AM  | 

I admit that with this headline, I’m trying to get Erick Erickson’s attention. Tom McClintock is the US Congressman from California’s 4th Congressional District.  He is supported by Club for Growth and he is a respected, national leader in Congress. Karen Handel is endorsed by RedState.com and Congressman Tom Price.  Handel is running for governor of Georgia. Conservative Arizona State Senator Pamela Gorman is endorsed by | Read More »

Kansas-03: If new candidates enter, they’ll have a hard time beating Lightner or Yoder

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary)  |  May 24th at 09:04 AM  | 

Both Patricia Lightner and Kevin Yoder have now officially filed for the Republican primary on Tuesday, August 3. I have not seen any polls lately — the only publicly-released poll has been this one in February from former candidate Nick Jordan — but I’m confident that both Lightner and Yoder are daily, consistently building up supporting in the form of voters, volunteers, and donors.  If new candidates | Read More »

In summary: There is no clear front-runner, in the Republican race for 3rd District US Congress. “BREAKING,” Steve Kraske wrote on April 22, 2010.  Kraske was reporting that former State Senator Nick Jordan, the 2008 Republican nominee, had dropped out of the 2010 race.  This wasn’t big news to many conservatives.  I wrote at Red County on January 17:  ”Why It’s A Good Bet That Nick | Read More »

iCaucus admits defeat. Restores Kansas endorsement after protest.

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary)  |  May 17th at 08:11 PM  | 

After a week of protesting by iCaucus members in Kansas, iCaucus leaders have acknowledged they were incorrect to have withdrawn the endorsement of Patricia Lightner in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District.  I’ll copy their statement later on in this article. Let me be clear, that I have little doubt about these two things: iCaucus’ leaders were fully willing to hold Patricia Lightner in the 3rd District | Read More »

Kansas 3rd District: Conservatives should rally around Patricia Lightner. It’s time for Nick Jordan to drop out, for the good of the pro-life movement.

By: Benjamin Hodge (Diary)  |  February 26th at 05:42 PM  | 

I’m still scratching my head over this one. Republican congressional candidate Nick Jordan released an internal poll, with the theme that it’s great news for his campaign.  But it’s not great news.  It’s not even good news.  It’s bad news, and both the results and the campaign’s separate, odd decision to release the poll give us yet two more reasons to vote for somebody else | Read More »
