First, they can't keep the ladies down in South Dakota, now it turns out they can't get their anti-evolution agenda supported in Kansas.

With just 6 districts of 1,990 yet to report as of 8 a.m. Central time today, two conservatives - including incumbent Connie Morris, a former west Kansas teacher and author who had described evolution as "a nice bedtime story" - appear to have been defeated decisively by two moderates in the Republican primary elections. One moderate incumbent, Janet Waugh from the Kansas City area, held on to her seat in the Democratic primary.

If her fellow moderates prevailed, Ms. Waugh said last week, "we need to revisit the minutes and every decision that was 6-4, re-vote."

This is the thesis of Give Up Blog. They can rile up their base only for so long before the normals wake up and get pissed about their children being taught anti-scientific BS on behalf of religious radicals.

Seriously, if the creationists can't stay in power in Kansas, and the pro-lifers can't pass an anti-choice law in South Dakota, it's big trouble for their movement. Looks like freedom of conscience prevails.
