Silver Lining

I've been documenting for awhile now Missouri's distressing fall from middle-of-the-road bell weather state to increasingly nutty conservative stronghold. But, there is always a bigger nut than you. And this week we found out it is our neighbor Kansas who is daring to go places even we wouldn't go...

Three top Republican elected officials in Kansas, including “informal” Mitt Romney adviser Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, are consideringchallenging Obama’s eligibility to appear on Kansas ballots this fall based on concerns over his citizenship. Kobach would not directly say whether he believes Obama’s birth certificate is real in an email to TPM Thursday night.

So, I guess, way to go Missouri... for not being Kansas.
