Everyone else: *crickets*

Actually wasn't it supposed to be pretty nice and decently populated prior to the Dustbowl and Great Depression? I thought many Californians are actually descended from displaced people from Kansas and other midwest states that were devastated.

Fun fact: people in Bakersfield, CA still use the term Okie unironically.

Do they even have a Democratic Party in Kansas?

I only ask because we basically don't have one here in Florida. Tons of races go uncontested, and the local Democratic Party is so incompetent that it seems like they are working for the Republicans sometimes.

i worked in hillsborough in 2012 and holy poo poo they are one of the most annoying local dem parties of all time.

the statewide dem party is ok though it's just incredibly disadvantaged

I touched the poop during the FL-13 special election last year and came away with the feeling that the Pinellas County Democratic Party was not acting in good faith. It's a long story though, and if you search for reports on both FL-13 elections in 2014 you'll see what I'm talking about. The second shot that we had at that seat was intentionally given away by the local Democratic Party. I can only imagine how many more stories like this are spread all around America.

the reality is that the local dem parties are completely and utterly irrelevant in congressional races. the dccc is a much larger factor than they are. i work on pol campaigns and i have had to elect dem candidates on two separate occasions that were opposed by the local party (silently, they can't be public or the state party would cut them off), and both times we won because they are a complete non-factor. they're like 20 people in a room that no one listens to and they have no money.

alex sink gave that seat a good shot and got unexpectedly stomped. if she had run again maybe she'd have won, but probably not because 2014.

California has an enormous, varied economy. They can pull in a lot of taxes because they have a lot of money. Who has money in Kansas? I can't even imagine what a rich Kansan is like. I have to believe if you somehow end up rich in Kansas, you leave Kansas.

Johnson County has a lot of wealthy people. It's one of the wealthies counties in the country.

But that's because KS worked really really hard to bring wealthy business owners over the boarder from MO. They came but left their businesses. The rest of KS is a poor poo poo hole, but super super republican. Poor people out here literally blame all of their problems on Obama, it's hilarious but kind of sad.

Hop on over to MO. We're one of the states next on the to-do lists of various anti-prohibition activists.

Also, MO's booming meth industry drove the weed prices so low it's crazy.
