Brownback has recently just been continuing to support John McCain for the presidency. He did however believe McCain would have some problems winning Kansas, and of course he ended up losing to Mike Huckabee. Although he knew this, Brownback said that if McCain did not win Kansas, he would blame himself. Brownback said, “If this is a loss, it’s my fault.” However, McCain's chances of winning were really not affected by Kansas, and Brownback feels as if his buddy McCain will easily win the nomination. Brownback has stated that he plans on helping McCain with his campaign in the upcoming weeks.
