Kansas: Burr, McCain Headline Money Events for Moran

[ccharles000]

Rep. Jerry Moran (R) is getting some fundraising help from some of his would-be Senate colleagues this month.

Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) will headline fundraisers for Moran, who is facing Rep. Todd Tiahrt in the GOP primary for retiring Sen. Sam Brownback’s (R) seat next August.

McCain will be the special guest at a fundraiser for Moran on Sept. 22 in Washington, D.C., according to a copy of the event information obtained by Roll Call. Burr will be the guest host at a fundraising breakfast in Washington later this week.

Additionally, Moran’s campaign also announced that Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has endorsed him in the primary. DeMint already co-hosted a fundraiser for Moran earlier this year.

1. If I had to choose between Moran and Tiahrt, I'd go for Moran

He's kind of a blue dog Dem type of Republican.

2. I used to live in Tiahrt's district

He is a completely certifiable whack job that is only slightly less conservative than Brownback, the senator they are running to replace. Moran is still a nutty Republican; but he's not the far right loon than either Tiahrt or Brownback are.

3. Immediately, I thought the Morans Guy was running for Congress

and McCain and Burr were helping him.
