We can debate all day whether politicos in Kansas should be second-guessing the Legislature's decision not to finance a presidential primary this year.
Instead, we have caucuses on both the D and R sides. The key there: Way fewer people will take the time to attend a caucus than a primary (see: Iowa).
But the timing of the Republican caucus — Feb. 9 — looks more intriguing by the day. That's four days after Super Tuesday, when half the country votes. If Republicans remain split, Feb. 9 could be an interesting day.
That said, Republicans just announced that their field is now complete for the caucus ballot. Those to be listed include all the usual suspects: Giuliani, Huckabee, Keyes, McCain, Paul, Romney and Thompson.
To be determined: How many of that Gang of Seven are still in the race come Feb. 9.
