Kansas may have a Senate race after all.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Kansas Voters finds incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts with just a four-point lead – 44% to 40% - over Democratic challenger Chad Taylor. Seven percent (7%) like some other candidate in the race, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.

Perhaps. He is running 'a pox upon both your houses' campaign so far. But your average Johnson County Republican is more moderate than the rest of the state. If Wolf's supporters stay home and Orman pulls enough votes from Johnson County and Sedgwick County he could pull off an upset. The only saving grace is that he's more likely to caucus with the GOP than with Harry Reid.
Roberts wins by more then 10 pts
A majority that is a majority because of those fellows is a Governmant Party Senate. However the fancied divide between Democrats and Republicans the Government Party will have a supermajority.
You don’t mean Orman would win ? He doesn’t have the most remote chance of that happening. The Democrat Taylor needs Johnson County a lot more than Roberts does. If I were Taylor, I’d want Orman out of the race.
I’m not going to attack Roberts for not being an American. That’s a bridge too far. He also served honorably in the Marines.
Wolf was just an opportunist who didn’t demonstrate much common sense (especially when he posted up private X-Rays of patients).
I am refugee (escapee) from communist Eastern Europe.
Wolf posted macabre pictures of DEAD people not patients. Not a cup of tea for most people.
What I see is the U.S.A. becoming more P.C. - just like communists asking citizens to turn in their neighbors for having BAD thoughts. This is not America.
Ted Cruz in America, Mr. Roberts like the Bushes enjoys being a compassionate something or other. Compassion is a limited G’ment
Was it of the dead ? Even worse.
Yes, unfortunately, this country is becoming more and more totalitarian. The Marxists/Stalinists decided to take over the Democrat Party (to compound their control of the media, pop culture, educational institutions, et cetera). Sadly, too many in the GOP don’t seem too far removed from it (or don’t want to fight it).
This country is far removed from the one I grew up in just 3 decades ago. It may take a civil war/revolution to set it back on the right course again.
Real conservatives don’t vote for amnesty. In addition, how you think anyone should be in DC for 47 years is beyond belief. Also - he’s an old dude. Time to bring in some hound blood.
When did Roberts vote for amnesty ? The implication by the Wolf people was that he’s been in the Senate for 47 years, which is a falsehood. He’s been in the Senate since 1997, not 1967.
New blood is fine, so long as you know what you’re getting. Wolf was a total unknown with no record and nobody knew what you were getting with him, which was why he wasn’t a credible challenger.
I have a lot trouble believing Roberts is in genuine danger to a penniless nobody rat, the DA of Topeka, I’m shaking in my boots. I’d be a lot more worried if that airhead Wolf had won the primary, his mocking of people’s x-rays would become front page news.
I also doubt that swine Cochran is in any great danger, though he faces as strong a challenger as the rats could have found. Kentucky and the open seat in Georgia (where post-primary, Perdue has jumped into the lead) are the only GOP seats I see as competitive, and I think we’ll win them both. These are Republican states, they aren’t gonna vote to keep Obama’s lapdog Reid in power.
If I’m wrong then we have Wolf to thank for his ridiculous negative campaigning against Roberts, and the unpopular Governor Brownback for being a drag on the ticket.
This might help!
The FRAUD charge was due to the former Democrat regime of Kathleen Sibelius.
Republican Brownback fixed it!

“Rasmussen” poll Paul Davis (D) 51%, Sam Brownback (R) 41%, Other 3%.
I think Brownback will pull it out but these numbers are troubling.
This charge against the previous regime comes at a good time.
Very queer poll from PPP
Pat Roberts (R) 32%, Rat Chad Taylor (D) 25%, and some guy Greg Orman (I) 23%,
From his website Orman sounds like a “moderate”, he briefly ran for this seat as a rat in 2008.
They also have the rat leading the gubernatorial race 39%-37% with 9% for the liartarian.
Perhaps disgruntled Wolf disciples going to Orman (which is ludicrous, given that Orman is well to the left of Roberts).
I skimmed Orman’s website, and in the few things I read, found that Orman is openly pro-abortion and opposes the Supreme Court’s pro-liberty Hobby Lobby and Citizens United decisions. But he’s never held office before, so he must be a “Tea Partier,” don’t you know? Not like that Pat Roberts with his 90%+ conservative voting record—this guy will be at least 50% liberal, so he’s the clear choice for Kansas conservatives.
I sasw the PPP Poll also. It seems that Orman is wealthy and running ads on TV. I have no idea how he’ll effect the race. But Roberts should have done the right thing and retired.
Ultimately, Orman will likely split the anti-Roberts/left-wing vote.
“But Roberts should have done the right thing and retired.”
Kansas has dozens of prominent conservative Republicans with proven records of achievement, and apparently none of them thought that Roberts should have stepped aside, since otherwise they would have run against him (and probably beat him soundly in the primary, given that a nobody without conservative bona fides and whose only claim to fame is making fun of people’s X-rays got within 7% of beating him).
In any event, no first-tier conservative challenger ran against Roberts, and he’s now the only conservative running for the Senate (as well as the Republican nominee, for those who still care about such things), so wringing one’s hands and saying that Roberts should have retired (and let political cypher Milton Wolf get the nomination???) is counterproductive.
Kansans can choose among a liberal Democrat, a “moderate” former Democrat, and a conservative Republican. Is this really such a tough choice for conservatives?
