Attorney General Phill Kline is racking up endorsements even though he hasn't announced a bid for a second term.

Kline said today in Topeka that he has the support of 89 of the state's 105 county sheriffs, including eight of 13 Democrats. Kline is a Republican and was elected to his first term in 2002.

So far, Kline doesn't have any Republican challengers in next August's primary, but he does face an opponent in the November general election.

Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison announced last month that he'll run against Kline. Morrison switched parties and will run as a Democrat.

Kline says he'll make a formal announcement about his campaign in the coming months.
