After last night's debate between Congresswoman Nancy Boyda and Lynn Jenkins, one thing is now VERY clear:

Only Lynn Jenkins can back Lynn Jenkins into a corner!

On minimum wage, Lynn Jenkins said, "I don't think that we need to mandate that. I'm a free-market girl. Let the free market decide."

Yet after the debate, she scrambled to clarify herself:

Jenkins clarified her answer. Asked if she opposed the minimum wage law itself -- a part of federal policy since the Great Depression -- she said she was referring during the debate only to last year's increase.

Oh, but wait! Jenkins has consistently been against having any minimum wage - at all! Check out this video from the campaign trail:

Another question for the candidate in the corner: Are you a champion for the taxpayer or for Big Oil billionaires?

So far, Jenkins has effectively dodged the issue without taking a position. Last night? Different story.

Boyda: "Lynn, I would ask, I don't think you've taken a position and I would very much appreciate it if you would. Do you think they should be paying royalties and will you break with your party?"

Jenkins: "She's talking about raising taxes, no, I oppose any tax increase."

WHAT?! Kansas taxpayers are paying for billions of dollars in subsidies for Big Oil despite month after month of record-shattering profits and she wouldn't correct it?

Advice to Jenkins: With this attitude, you might just want to stay in that corner.
