"It's an absolute sham," Carter said. "They're trying to confuse voters and manipulate the process."

And while Johnson County Republican Party Chairman Doug Patterson didn't impute any ulterior motives to the Ippels' dueling campaigns, he called it a bad idea.

"If they're serious about the race, it defeats their credibility," Patterson said. "It's just one of those cute little things that belong in the weird news section."

The Ippels and Smith denied any collusion.

"I do not know them and have not known them," Smith said. "There's absolutely no truth to it."

But if there is a plan to pull votes away from Colyer, one political observer said, it would be a case of conservatives having one of their own tricks pulled on them.

"It's about time the moderates started pulling this stuff," said Kansas State University political science professor Joe Aistrup. "Conservatives have been running stealth candidates for years."

2. I don't trust these husband and wife (one being dem and one being

a repug) in politics...every since James Carville and wife Mary...after he and Mary got married he changed and I really didn't trust him anymore...I find it hard to believe that you could live with someone that is so opposed to your political views...so it makes me wonder if they really are...
