A caller objects to a sentence in a story yesterday about Nick Jordan, who won 76 percent of the vote in the primary for Kansas' 3rd U.S. House District. The story referred to "a conservative who got a free ride in the primary like Nick Jordan did this year."
"It makes it sound like he didn't even have to campaign, like he was running unopposed," said the reader. "I think that term sounds very disparaging, regardless of who it's applied to. I've always thought of a 'free ride' going to someone who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, but here he had an opponent, Paul Showen, who could have possibly run."
