The Aug. 7 primary election is putting some Republicans in a quandary.
Do they vote their conscience, or for the person they think most able to defeat Kris Kobach?
For moderates those that favor funding public education, keeping the state solvent, and expanding Medicaid theres only one choice: Jim Barnett, a former state senator.
But if pubic opinion polls are right, Barnett doesnt have a prayer of winning.
That means voting for Gov. Jeff Colyer, whos running neck and neck with Kobach, would be our best bet.
We certainly could do worse.
Colyer, in fact, has come into his own in surprisingly short order in the six months hes been in office.
