Jake LaTurner deserves credit for political smarts in dropping out of crowded Kansas Senate Republican primary to challenge Rep. Steve Watkins for nomination. At the time voter fraud allegations came only from newspaper articles, not an indictment that later hit Watkins. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Roger Marshall knows how to pick his spots. Beat unpopular Rep. Tim Huelskamp in 2014 GOP primary in western Kansas district. Now knocked off Kris Kobach for Republican Senate nomination in once-crowded primary field, and almost certain November election. — PolitiTweet.org

Key day in post-Election Day chaos is Jan. 6, 2021. Vice President Mike Pence oversees counting and certification of Electoral College votes. Assuming House is still Dem majority potential for real clash, and electing POTUS by state delegations. But lots of "ifs" to get that far. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@JeffSmithMO If the Democratic opponent of Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) could somehow beat him, that would narrow the edge. According to polls they're tied, but it's still a longshot for Democrats. Other delegation opportunities include Montana's single seat, and trying flip a Florida district. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffSmithMO I *think* they just don't count in the tally. But I'm still researching all the contingencies. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@JeffSmithMO Though one thing that needs more exploration is the backstop role the House would play on Jan. 6, 2021, if it ever got that far. Republicans currently have a 26-23 edge in state delegations, but who knows how it would really play out? — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher @Liam_Engle @mathieugallard Agreed. It was interesting and fun to watch because Kemp and Bob Dole had tangled over taxes in the 1980s -- supply-side orthodoxy vs. traditional deficit hawk concerns. But the ticket didn't exactly spell out youth and vigor, no matter how many air football passes Kemp made. — PolitiTweet.org
