Essentially the Democrats are being allowed to run TWO candidates despite the primary. One is the “candidate” the second is the “shadow candidate”.

When the official candidate appears to be going down in defeat they are able to have a closed second primary open only to an executive session and remove “candidate” and replace him with “shadow candidate”

That is what it appears to have happened. Greg Orman started running ads early in the primary season, pointing out he was an independent and tired of both parties and Washington DC.

I was sceptical then because the ads were running non-stop. He sure had a ton of money to spend during primary season and touting a popular message, who isn't tired of Washington DC. Maybe it's all the shenanigans the left has pulled on this country that still made me to be sceptical about his candidacy.

Turns out my scepticism paid off as it has been revealed Orman ran against Roberts in 2008 as a democrat. He has also given thousands of dollars to top liberal democrats like 0bama, Hillary, and Harry Reid. This whole other ordeal with getting Taylor off the ballot, stinks to high heaven, of trying to help Orman during the general election. I'm wondering if this is a test run for future "independent" candidates around the country. The left is such a deceptive, evil bunch.

I'm not sure where all this will lead to but I've been following centurion316 here on the Kansas Supreme Court arguments: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3204646/posts
