With the decision by Sam Brownback to appoint Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh as a “campaign chair” rather than a running mate, it seems to have knocked Thornburgh from “Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride” clear into flower girl status….
As such, we here at Foward Kansas have developed the TOP TEN REASONS RON THORNBURGH WAS OVERLOOKED for LT. GOV
10. Thornburgh couldn’t handle the fact that Brownback was inspiration behind John Sebelius’s Don’t Drop the Soap.
9. Lack of voter demographic tracking by SOS office made it hard for Thornburgh to know which events to bring Kris Kobach to.
8. Flat out refused to be a BrownbackGirl.
7. Wouldn’t participate in naked C Street rituals for Jesus.
6. Brownback disturbed when Thornburgh mentions “mermaids are kinda hot.”
5. Fundraising bake sale idea “Brownies for Brownback” frightened Kobach away from early endorsement.
4. Thornburgh wouldn’t stop offering to show Lynn Jenkins his “Great White Hope.”
3. With another Kansas politician losing the presidency by a long shot, Thornburgh suggested Brownback follow in Dole’s footsteps by using Viagra to prop up his approval numbers.
2. Thornburgh baby face made it impossible to squelch “Brownback Mountain” references.
And the number one reason that Ron Thornburgh was overlooked for Lt. Governor……
1. Jerry Moran will puss out of the Senate race eventually anyway….
