Jim Slattery was a Democratic U.S. Congressman that represented Kansas from 1983-1995. He was a victim of the Gingrich Revolution who was best known for his work on “environmental protection, health care, telecommunications, and budget cutting efforts.”

Last year, Slattery briefly thought about running for Senate against Pat Roberts before opting against it. But he is rumored to be reconsidering, and it is interesting to see his frame of mind.

Slatts [Slattery] just called. He’s looking. He’s thinking. “It’s not going to take long,” he said of making a decision.

He’d like some clarity on the presidential race before pulling the trigger. “That’s not the sole consideration, but it’s certainly a factor, as you can imagine.”

I can imagine. Barack Obama’s mother was raised in Kansas, and Obama carried the state by a forty-eight percent margin. Who do you think Slattery is hoping will be the Democratic nominee? Who do you think’s nomination will cause him to find something better to do?

Do the Clinton supporters really want to argue coattails?

And I am so pissed at Pat Roberts for his behavior as chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I am very hopeful that he will get a decent opponent.
