In a pretty reliable red state a pro-abortion, pro queer marriage, gun-grabbing liberal "independent" is liked by almost half the voters in the state. This Obama rubber stamp, if elected as a independent, will vote with the party of Harry Reid 100% of the time. "Independent" hell, he's a democrat running as a "Independent", trying to fool people. He knows that democrats don't get elected in Kansas. So the question is, can voters in Kansas be that stupid? We'll find out in four weeks. I know Roberts is not the greatest republican in the world, but anyone would be better than this lowlife liberal trying to fool people into voting for him.

He probably isn’t, but even if the poll showing him even is true, it shows how incredibly weak he is. I’d say hopefully Roberts’ incredibly poor performance this cycle — win or lose — will teach the GOP “Establishment” a lesson that the “moderate” isn’t the strong candidate, but it won’t.
Kansas elected the all time abortion queen, Kathleen Sebelius Governor twice. She ran on an abortion agenda, was funded by the abortion industry, and she packed the courts with pro abortion judges. Much of her support came from the Republican party. Red does not necessarily conservative, it just means Republican and the Sebelius vote will go for Orman.
This is an example of how the democrat strategists are professionals and the republican strategists are clowns.
The democrats got a democrat to drop out of the senate race. The republicans would never do that anywhere.
The democrats want to retain control of the senate. They’ll do it by any means necessary. They’ll lie, cheat, steal, or whatever to remain in power. Republicans never get this nasty unless it’s against their own.
A liberal is about to be elected to the senate in a very conservative state. That’s all one needs to know about the incompetency of the republican party.
Most polls result in the desire of who is paying for the poll.
That stupid NBC/Marist poll again.
It was pointed out earlier on FR that the front page of the PDF explaining the methodology says they sought out the youngest male in the household to survey. Since young people tend to be more liberal, they are trying to get the results they want. I wouldn’t believe anything they put out again.
CGato
I want Roberts to win because he is at least a Republican. That being said. He brought this on himself. How hard is it with a job that pays 175K per year to find a decent home in Kansas cheap that you can live in when you come home. GO HOME once a month and stay in your home for a long weekend. IDIOT!
“Pat Roberts is unpopular and the GOP brand is suffering in Kansas”
Pat Roberts IS THE GOP Brand.
Someone ping me when the GOP wave starts.
” He knows that democrats don’t get elected in Kansas. So the question is, can voters in Kansas be that stupid?”
Kathleen Sebelius proved that Kansas voters CAN be that stupid. Hopefully, they’ve learned something! ;)
In a “both parties suck” world, a unknown non-entity can be appealing.

Perhaps. Or perhaps Kansas is a "pretty reliable red state" because its people are pretty conservative -- and sick of being kicked and spat on by the GOPe, so they're showing their dissatisfaction the only way left to them.
So the question is, can voters in Kansas be that stupid?
Or is the question, can the GOPe be that stupid?
We'll find out in four weeks.
We will.
The commercials I’ve seen here in Kansas are linking Orman with Obama.
Left this part out:
But this is just one poll. And it’s something of an outlier. Roberts’s position may not be as desperate as the Marist survey implies.
True, he’s still behind in the RealClearPolitics average of major polls. But the margin is about 5 percent, not Marist’s 10. And a CBS/YouGov poll released last week shows the Kansas Senate race virtually tied, at 36 percent for Roberts, 35 percent for Orman.
Given that, some election prognosticators basically shrugged at the Marist results.
