Here's today's rundown on the Congressional races.

Franken: My Ads Are About Norm Coleman's Record -- So They're Negative
Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) debated last night against Al Franken and Independency Party candidate Dean Barkley. Franken got off this zinger when asked what he would do about negative ads that have taken over the race on all sides: "We've been running ads against Norm Coleman's record. So they're negative."

Franken: I'll Keep On Impersonating Wellstone
At a rally over the weekend featuring Al Gore, Al Franken declared that he would not be deterred from doing his goofy impression of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, who would manically shout "You can take this guy!" at his son's track and field meets. The GOP has been using video of Franken impersonating his departed friend and twisting it to look like Franken himself was being crazy and unstable.

In what will likely be taken as a sign of Republican Party disunity, presumptive nominee John McCain has lost this afternoon's Kansas caucuses to Mike Huckabee — and it wasn't even close. With 88% reporting, Huck has 60% to McCain's 24%, followed by Ron Paul at 11%. Huckabee will almost certainly win all 36 of the delegates up for grabs.

In some ways, this state was tailor-made for Huckabee. A top issue for the Kansas GOP is to challenge the teaching of evolution, and McCain's virtually-certain nomination guaranteed a low turnout. But it can't be good for McCain's image if he continues to lose more contests to Huckabee. As such, expect McCain to increase his travel schedule to upcoming primaries and caucuses, in order to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Barack Obama officially has another governor supporting his candidacy. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who gave the Democratic response to the State of the Union last night, has confirmed to the Associated Press that she is endorsing Obama.

Sebelius' endorsement, which has been expected for the last couple days, coincides with a campaign stop Obama is making today in her Super Tuesday state, in which he will be visiting the home town of his maternal grandparents.

This brings Obama's support from governors to six, compared to Hillary Clinton's ten.

New polling from SurveyUSA shows the Republicans in good shape to hold on to Kansas next year, a state that has not voted Democratic for president since 1964:

Giuliani (R) 54%, Clinton (D) 37%
Thompson (R) 53%, Clinton (D) 40%
Romney (R) 51%, Clinton (D) 39%
Huckabee (R) 50%, Clinton (D) 41%
McCain (R) 60%, Clinton (D) 34%
Paul (R) 44%, Clinton (D) 42%
Giuliani (R) 54%, Gore (D) 37%

Note that Hillary Clinton is even trailing Ron Paul in this state.
