New Attorney General Won't Be Any of The Favorites

I was listening to the radio this morning, and a talk show host in Topeka (Jim Cates) was telling what he had been hearing in regards to who the new Attorney General (in Kansas) will be. Surprisingly it seems he and I have been hearing the same thing.

So who will be replace embattled AG Paul Morrison? According to undisclosed sources I believe I now know who it will be. You can scratch Chris Biggs, he won't be the new Attorney General. Neither will Steve Boyda, husband of Congresswoman Nancy Boyda. Nor will it be my personal favorite Dan Lykins, or Congressman Dennis Moore or the turncoat and former state Republican Chairman Mark Parkinson.

Nope all the indicators seem to point to the next Attorney General to be Charles Branson. The Douglas County District Attorney, who is currently serving his first term. Branson, was also a criminal defense attorney for years before he was elected as DA in 2004. In addition that win was a pretty decisive one, in year of major Republican gains elsewhere in the state and the nation.

Finally, sources say that the official announcement will be within the next 10 days.
