Now that Hurricane Gustav has made land fall, it appears coverage of the Republican National Convention will ramp up in the next three days.A Roll Call article by Louis Jacobson focuses on Sen. John McCain’s potential cabinet selections, should he defeat Sen. Barack Obama in November.One name on the list is a Kansan: U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback for the position of attorney general. Jacobson points to staunch conservatives Brownback and former Solicitor General Ted Olson as key contenders based on McCain’s campaign already looking to those two for advice on judicial appointments.Brownback, who has said he would not seek a Senate seat in 2010, is also being watched as a potential Kansas gubernatorial candidate.In other news, the National Republican Congressional Committee has reserved $580,000 in television time for the 2nd Congressional District race in Kansas, held by Democratic Rep. Nancy Boyda.Boyda has already asked the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to stay out and let her run a local campaign. Her Republican opponent, state Treasurer Lynn Jenkins, has said outside groups are practicing free speech.The Kansas Democratic Party this morning released a statement criticizing the ad reservations by the NRCC.”Lynn Jenkins founded her campaign on the fantasy that she is an ‘outsider’ who can change Washington. Yet she has made no effort to reject the half a million dollars these Washington insiders handed over to her campaign,” said Mike Gaughan, executive director for the Kansas Democratic Party.
