Kansas Democrats are NOT advertising for U.S. Senatorial candidates on Craigslist

Someone is recruiting Democrats to run for U.S.Sen. Sam Brownback’s soon-to-be-vacant 2nd Congressional District seat on Craigslist with ads like this one.

Are Kansas Democrats that hard up for candidates in 2010 that they had to take to an online classified ad? Nope.

“We didn’t [post it],” Andrea White, communications director for the

Kansas Democratic Party, told me this morning. “”Somebody’s being

funny.”

The ads are written pretty straight (see here, here, here and here). The first ad appeared on May 25 and the last one was posted on June 5.

“We’ve requested that it be taken down, but it keeps popping up,” White says. “So we’re just going to let it go.”

As for 2010, White expects “a great slate of candidates.” They’re just waiting for them to announce.
