Every ad on the air and the money behind it — race by race, market by market, down to the station and the spot. Then the rest of the picture: the news, the odds, what Kansas is searching, what a tank of gas and a week of groceries cost, who is cutting jobs, and how party registration is moving. Rebuilt every hour. Kansas for now.
