Phill Kline News Explosion

Here is a digest of basically how news sources are reporting on the Phill Kline announcement

Kline Announces Candidacy - CapJournal

Phill Kline to seek Re-election - Channel 5 News (I would argue he would have had to have been elected to be actually re-elected.. but that's probably just semantics... )

Phill Kline isn't Going Anywhere - Wichita Eagle
Many Johnson County Republicans were mad when Kline was chosen to fill the district attorney position, given how badly he lost in the attorney general race. They may prefer GOP candidate Steve Howe, one of the prosecutors Kline dismissed when he became district attorney. Howe has been endorsed by Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts and former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker.
Kline files for Full Term - Hays Daily News

And my personal favorite... Thank You Phill Kline for being so Egotistical - KC Star Editorial

Sure, Kline had said earlier he would not run for a full term in office, recognizing that he couldn't win.

But Kline changed his mind. Why? The public doesn't have a good handle on that because Kline -- the top law enforcement officer in Johnson County -- refused to take questions from the media Monday.

If nothing else, the Johnson County Republican primary for district attorney will be entertaining.
