Roberts is like the rest of those who have spent their entire adult lives in Washington. He doesn’t pay much attention to anyone without a lot of money in their pockets. He is quite shocked to have opposition and is running the same type of ads that Cochran used against McDaniel in Mississippi. He thinks that we are all a bunch of stupid hayseeds.
All Roberts needs is an ad with Bob Dole endorsing him, and all he can expect is victory. KS people are incumbency-friendly too.
