Eliana has a piece on the homepage about the high-stakes governor’s race, where Sam Brownback is in trouble. A little on his comeback plan:

Brownback, for his part, appears uncowed by the onslaught, and his strategy for victory is becoming clear. Up to this point, all of the focus on Brownback’s record has allowed Davis to avoid staking out his own positions. In their first debate earlier this month, Brownback called Davis “the Nancy Pelosi of Kansas.” Davis represents a house district in eastern Lawrence, a city widely considered more liberal than the rest of the state, and the Brownback team’s gamble is that, while Kansas voters may not be fiery conservatives, they are not Lawrence liberals.
And they are certainly not Obama liberals. As Brownback’s strategist puts it, “If people look at the difference between Brownback, four times elected statewide, two times by double digits, versus Davis, a two-time Obama delegate, I think we know how this movie ends.”
