GOP Guv On Lackluster Primary Performance: Blame Obama

[DonViejo]

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) had a theory for why a chunk of voters were backing Jennifer Winn, his challenger, in the Republican gubernatorial primary: blame President Barack Obama.

"I think a big part of it is Barack Obama," Brownback told Kansas's 41 Action News. "That a lot of people are so irritated at what the president is doing, they just, they want somebody to throw a brick."

Brownback won the primary on Tuesday with 63.3 percent of the vote while Winn got 36.7 percent, a surprisingly low margin of victory for the tea party-favored Brownback given that it's the Republican primary in deep red Kansas.

"I think it's a lot of deep irritation with the way the president has taken the country," Brownback said.
