I'm stuck at work, and have a bunch of time to kill, so I thought I would update Kossacks on the results for the Kansas primary, which occurred today. (Or, yesterday, I suppose, but since I have not slept, it still feels like today.)

Up for grabs this year are: Gov/Lt. Gov, Sec. of State, Insurance Commissioner, and four Congressional Districts, as well as all the State Rep races. For primary results, and November match-ups, follow me below the fold. Read More

I posted the heart of this diary a while back. However, I could not have picked a worse time to post, as it was during the heart of YearlyKos, and the site was abuzz with Markos' speech. With the combination of YearlyKos and the flurry of activity after Markos' speech, the diary quickly faded into oblivion. OurRevolution is quickly becoming more than PsiFighter and I can handle alone, and we need your help, whether you're an older Kossack, or are one of those young progressives that will be the heart of OurRevolution.

I posted a diary last night about PsiFighter's and my work on OurRevolution. Don't worry, I won't diary whore it tonight. It wasn't even that well written a diary. However, the information in the diary was important, so I'm going to post the gist of it again, so that it gets the eyeballs it deserves. Read More

God, I hate writing diary titles. I'm tired and cranky (got turned down for a job that I really wanted), and don't have the energy to come up with a more creative or relevant title. This is the third diary about the progress on OurRevolution. You can read the first three here, here, and here. PsiFighter's diary (the first link) discusses some of the changes we've made regarding the site (changes in age, some clarification of the profiles, etc.)

This is the second diary about PsiFighter37 and my new project: creating a blogging community similar to DKos for young progressives. In short, the response to the idea was unbelievably positive: most people thought it was an absolutely feasible idea, and offered their encouragement and support.

You can read about our reasons for wanting to create such a site, and what that site would entail, here. Or, you can read the briefest of summaries below the fold. Updates regarding how the site is coming along are below. Read More

I'm working on a project with PsiFighter37 to develop a blogging community for younger progressives. It can be a bit terrifying and intimidating to post on DKos or other political blogs, as you are all very smart, and make younger writers (certainly myself, at least) feel inadequate, as you all write so eloquently. Too, blogs like DKos don't often deal with issues that younger progressives identify with. As Psifighter37 notes here there are not a lot of progressive blogs geared toward younger progressives.

The other day I diaried on the state of the Democratic Party in Kansas at the local and state level. Among the compliments and questions was a request to analyze Kansas's four US House of Reps races in 2006.

Kansas is divided into four Congressional Districts. The largest district, by far, is the 1st district, which covers the western half of the state, plus some parts of east central Kansas. The 2nd district spans the eastern half of the state, with the exception of the Kansas City and Wichita areas. The third district is the Kansas City area, while the fourth district is Wichita and the surrounding counties. To see the district outlines on a map, click here.

This is my first diary. At least, this is the first diary that I have not deleted. I'm not an eloquent writer, and I ask that you bear with me, as I get my sea legs. There is a lot of buzz about the 50 State strategy (especially right now, in the middle of the canvas), and I was wondering how it translated to the state level. As I'm from Kansas and am pursuing a career in Kansas politics, I figured I'd crunch some numbers.

Bear in mind that the filing deadline for Kansas is not until noon on June 12, so there is plenty of time to correct any problems that arise. Also, Kansas's filing fees (at least for state level office) are not terribly steep ($105 for state reps.), enabling almost anyone who wants to run for office to do so.
