The chain of events that kept reporters hopping to update their stories began Friday morning, when Cline, who assumed office only last Tuesday, walked into County Clerk Pat McDonald's office and told her she wanted to leave the Democratic Party and become a Republican. No, wait. This just in. She has now left the Republican Party and is once again a Democrat. Cline filled out a form declaring the change in party affiliation, and it was forwarded to the county election commission. Cline said in a telephone interview shortly after making the initial switch that she had done so because the Democratic Party had been trying to guide her work. The Associated Press A state Democratic Party official said she knew of no instance where party officials tried to have Cline perform in a certain way. "She told me this was something she had to do and that she was up all night praying about it," McDonald said. Cline did not elaborate, saying only: "The party was suggesting I do some things that I didn't feel comfortable with." "To my knowledge, the Democrats were not putting any pressure on her to do anything," said Kay Mettner, executive director of the state Democratic party. "It was the Democrats who got her elected in the first place. For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, an official in Kansas in one day changed her party to a political party twice, astounding political observers. "I don't know what pressure she's talking about. She is not handling the Democratic politician switches parties, rethinks; changes back to original choice "It's the most bizarre event to unfold in recent Kansas politics," said Jack Brier, the county's Republican chairman. TrickorTreat Martin and Wells both denied the allegation, saying that Cline had simply not followed state statutes filling how the positions should be filled. She said she has tried to appoint two assistants to her office, a move she has said has been blocked by the county's attorney for civil affairs, Doug Martin — a Republican — and county personnel director Charles Wells. Cline said that after she became a Republican, Martin's office suddenly set the wheels in motion to hire her appointees.
