Kansas incumbent faces far-left challenge from self-described communist in Democratic primary

[slightlv]

1. This bothers me...

we're getting all kinds of outsiders calling themselves anything and everything that will trigger R's and I's. I'm a Kansan, tho this particular race doesn't effect me, except in the way it will or won't affect the state legislature. Look, I'm as progressive as they come. Even have had some good fights back in the past around here about my attitudes... but I think at this juncture, we're in too precarious a position to be playing loose with terms like communist. If we could get people to understand social democracy, we'll be doing good. Am I just nuts for thinking this way? I'm just an old time FDR democrat.
