Maybe. But he's not Pat Roberts, and apparently that might just be enough.
Kansans on this forum understand quite well who Greg Orman is and what he stands for. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they support Roberts, we have some sore heads who are determined to lose.
The Orman campaign depends upon liberal Republicans (yes, Kansas has quite a few of these), clueless Independents, and Democrats. Without almost all of these groups in large numbers, Orman loses. I’ve seen plenty of ads on the Governor’s race and some Orman ads, but Roberts ads have been scarce since the primary. Perhaps Roberts thought that he could coast to victory after defeating Wolf. The fact that Roberts is having trouble with Wolf, Orman, and Taylor is a sign of weakness for Roberts, not strength for these lightweights.
Roberts needs to start some serious campaigning, not just talking to the Chamber of Commerce in Johnson County. I don’t see any evidence that he’s doing it.
Let’s see:
Roberts....
1) Is pro-life
2) Is pro-traditional marriage.
3) Is pro-drilling
4) Is pro-gun
5) Is pro-Keystone Pipeline
6) Voted against Obamacare
7) Voted against the Porkulus
8) Voted against Dodd-_Frank
9) Voted against Cap and Trade
10) Voted against BHO’s SCOTUS appointments
I could go on and on. Is Roberts perfect? Of course not. No one is. But he does have one of the most conservative voting records in the US Senate. I guess the definition of RINO has changed in recent years. It would be sheer insanity to throw away this US Senate. PURE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
