1998 will be an important year for defining Kansas politics. Kansas
Democrats run relatively strongly -- three of four Republican House winners won with less
than 53%, including Todd Tiahrt in a very conservative district -- but it is very
conservative in presidential races (only partly due to Bob Dole being from Kansas). If the
four Republicans win easily in 1998, Democrats in the state may have difficulty winning
federal offices for some time.
