The predictions
Sebelius 57% (based on SUSA polling)
Morrison 54% (below SUSA's last poll, negative ad campaigns will make people think twice)
Moore 60% (Chuck who?)
Boyda 51% (This race will go down to the wire)
Weiss 53% (McDonald did well in the primary, add in Democratic votes and Weiss wins)
Wempe 52% (an experienced local politician with solid fundraising)
The results:
Sebelius 58%
Morrison 58%
Moore 64%
Boyda 51%
Weiss 44%
Wempe 49%
We'll call the Sebelius and Boyda predictions perfect. I blew the Board races, and I gave Moore and Morrison too little credit. Two predictions too high, two too low, two dead on; four winners correctly predicted.

Democratic candida
Kansas City Star | 11/01/2006 | Boyda would support welcome changes:
A month ago, Jim Ryun's campaign planted a story about how Nancy Boyda wasn't a serious challenger because the DCCC wasn't putting any money into her campaign.
Overall, Josh, a great job, especially on the Ryun upset. It's nice to see Phillll in retirement mode.
