3. But we can't just give up

I know no one at the national level is going to be throwing much money at Kansas. We're not a swing state and only two of our four congressional districts could be considered competitive (some people say only one).

However, I don't think that means we should just shrug our shoulders and do little to nothing as a state. Nothing can change without consistent effort and investment.

2012 could be a much better year for Dems even in Kansas. The President's numbers are climbing, the economy is improving, and more and more people are getting disgusted with Sam Brownback (including more reasonable Republicans).

We have some opportunity but we need to get moving to take advantage of it and to win as many seats as we can.
