Kraske: Morrison hits his stride

   This Sunday in Steve Kraske's column on politics:

•    There's a formula for winning the race for Kansas attorney general. Based on last week's candidate forum before the Kansas Bar Association, Democrat Paul Morrison seems to have it figured out.
• Good poll news for Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt -- finally.
• The significance of the latest Iowa poll for the 2008 presidential race. On the Democratic side, someone named Hillary is not in first place.

Kraske: Presidential libraries or temples?

   Sunday in Steve Kraske's politics column:

• On this Memorial Day weekend, critics are taking aim at the way we memorialize our presidents. Happily, ol' Harry is an exception.
• Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has a big decision to make: Her next running mate. Democrats, listen up: This one matters.
• The driver's license fee office controversy suddenly is hot fodder on the Missouri campaign trail.

• Missouri state Sen. Victor Callahan says Democrats have only themselves to blame for an expected ban on straight-ticket voting.
• And Kansas GOP gubernatorial candidate Robin Jennison's long search for a Johnson County running mate.
