Stephene Moore for Congress? "Stay tuned"

Retiring Democratic Congressman Dennis Moore threw out two words Saturday that give his party renewed hope of holding onto the 3rd District seat.

"Stay tuned."

Moore uttered those words today in Topeka at the party's annual Washington Days gathering. They were directed at the potential prospects of his wife, Stephene, who is apparently considering a run to succeed her husband.

The congressman told fellow Democrats during a luncheon to "stay tuned."

State Democratic Party Chairman Larry Gates also confirmed Stephene Moore is "possibly on the list." However, the congressman's wife said she hasn't made any decisions and declined to comment further.

The congressman is not seeking another term this year after serving 12 years in the U.S. House.

Lake Quivira doctor Elizabeth Gallup already has filed for the Democratic nomination and at least seven Republicans are running.

Dennis Moore is the only Democrat in the state's Congressional delegation.

1. yeah I saw that in the Topeka paper as well

I have mixed feelings about it, although I definitely would not vote for her.

2. I take it no other

Democrat has declared a run for that seat?

It's more than a little sad and depressing that no Democrat has stepped up to run.

3. No she is the only one

The party has no bench in KS. It's sad.

4. not considering any more - she's announced

I still don't like it.

5. Well, it's better than

letting the seat go unopposed.

6. I like her a lot

She's lots more progressive than her husband.

[SheilaT]

7. Almost everyone in Kansas with a D after

their name is more progressive than Dennis.

8. true

But Dennis is not a progressive. He's a Bluedog in my book, and that is why he had such a long run in Ks 3rd.
