Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline lost his Republican primary race Tuesday to former assistant District Attorney Steve Howe.

Howe won 60 percent of the vote in defeating Kline.

A key issue in the race was the notoriety Kline had received for prosecution abortion clinics even though he tried to convince voters that he cared about more than the abortion issue.

it is a defeat for a one trick pony prosecutor that just cost the taxpayers $475,000 for prosecuting with out a case. a real gallant lawyer that cant see past the anti abortion stand enough to see the law. if you want the law to stop abortion, get it changed, you cant win with bad cases.

It is no defeat for an expert and able prosecutor to refuse to abandon his principled stand to protect desperate mothers and their babies from the ongoing coercion, exploitation, and abuse by criminal, racist abortionist quacks in Planned Parenthood's second-trimester Overland Park abortion mill. It is gallantry.

so the one trick pony got beat. I guess it takes more than rabid devotion to one cause to be a da.
