premise: Sam Brownback is perplexed. The U.S. Senator from Kansas and Presidential candidate is a Republican whose politics-he is against marriage for gay people, he is against abortion, and he has a clean image in a party tainted by scandal-should speak favorably to the party's base. But it has not. "I'm baffled by that myself," Senator Brownback told Wikinews reporter David Shankbone. "We haven't been able to raise money."
hypothesis: Sam Brownback is not a Republican.
