Insiders chess game…
There is already an interesting little “insiders” chess game going on in Kansas about the 2014 primary elections.
What? Didn’t we just finish the 2012 election cycle? Well, yes we did, but both Republican and Democratic parties are already working on the 2014 elections, figuring out how to get the advantage in that all-important-in-Kansas primary election.
The key here: Kansas is an overwhelmingly Republican-by-voter-registration state. What happens in the GOP primary election often becomes what happens in the general election.
