Always keen to the opportunity to inject himself into the debate, Chris Stieneger chose to make an endorsement.
No single action did more to spoil the tone and tenor of this race. Suddenly, it was Democratic bloodsport:
"Joe [Reardon] is a sober man who spends his free time with his wife and kids. When Rehorn was in the Legislature, he was occasionally tuned in and could be effective, but only about 4-6 hours per days. Unfortunately, he also spent almost every evening from 6PM until late drinking at a pub called The Gregory in downtown Topeka.
… Observers in Wyandotte County know that Rehorn has been a regular at Johnny's Sports bar and the Twin City Tavern for years. My Grandfather always spoke against men who spent too much time at bars drinking beer, as he came home every night to be with his family, do chores, and get the family ahead. [editors note: irony, at "A Street Fightin' Man"
Surely, Chris could have found a less destructive way to make an endorsement and avoided marring the good name of a respected Democrat and colleague.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only time “The Joe Lieberman of Kansas” undermined Democratic unity.
