Ok, first off: I don’t know this guy and didn’t know about him until he showed up on Boing Boing a few of days ago, the fact that he lives, maybe, 25 away minutes by car notwithstanding. He appears to match my age, politics, temperament, humor and career field so, for what its worth, he has my endorsement. I’d donate, but I’m one of them “damn fer’ners” technically speaking, although I’ve been here (legally BTW) for about 16 years.

Most people reading this will not know anything about me, but can probably guess a bit. I’m middle-aged and married, I have a family, I live in the suburbs of KC. I may not be the most liberal person you’re likely to meet (if you get out at all in an urban/suburban setting), but I’m probably in the 90th percentile, as far as Kansas City goes. If that hasn’t driven you off totally, well hell then, welcome!

If I can offer any insight into Sean’s candicacy at all, it might be this: Knowing what he does for a living and the little bit else I can see, I would seriously doubt he’d do this if he didn’t think he could do it better than his opponent. Given that his constituency includes my brother-in-law and his family, republicans at all costs, I’m a bit skeptical that that will do it, but I’m just a grain in the pile, right?

Seriously, give Sean a look if you’re in the Olathe district that he represents.
