The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

The Topeka Capital Journal is reporting that Ken Canfield is expressing interest in the Governor’s race for 2006. As I predicted, Brownback is claiming neutrality. See what you think…

Speculation has been that Canfield was encouraged to run by Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. Kim Smith, a longtime staffer for Brownback in Johnson County, has taken a leave of absence to help on Canfield’s campaign.

Canfield called the senator “a good, close, personal friend,” but said Brownback hadn’t encouraged him to run.

“He was shocked I was considering this,” Canfield said.

Yeah, and I have some ocean front property I’d like to sell ya in Dodge City.

Canfield is certainly the kind of candidate that ideologically matches Brownback. Canfield hates gays and women, believes in the dismantling of public education, and is completely unqualified for the job.
