Democratic nominee Chad Taylor dropped out of the race for U.S. Senate in Kansas on Wednesday, an 11th hour move that could clear the way for his party to rally behind and independent candidate and potentially change the math in the battle for the Senate majority.
Taylor, who raised little money and had not gained traction in the campaign, submitted a letter to the Kansas secretary of state's office that said he was withdrawing from the contest, without providing any further information. An e-mail to his spokesman seeking more information on why he bowed out was not immediately returned.
The move, which came on the last day for ballot changes, could clear the way for Democrats to rally behind Greg Orman, an independent candidate who has left the door open to caucusing with both parties if elected. Orman, who used to be a Democrat and a Republican, has been viewed as a more viable opponent against Sen. Pat Roberts (R), who polls show is vulnerable. Orman has raised a lot more money than Taylor.

Conservatism is a way of life.
You should try it sometime.
I LIVE it....I’m also smart enough to know that we aren’t electing JESUS to anything!!! CRIPES, there is NO one as conservative running as I am...NO ONE.....I CHOOSE FROM MY CHOICES and I don’t live in MAKE BELIEVE LAND!!! there is NO perfect world. gads, people are THICK!!
Yes, I can tell from your all-caps spittle.
He fought moderates. Because he knew they were liberals.
/johnny
oooohhhh....spittle......yeah....high repartee!!!
He brought along a TON of Democrats and liberal Republicans, don’t kid yourself.
Not on abortion, not on gun control, not on amnesty, not on socialized medicine.
No one has been looking for perfect. Matching the party platform would get votes.
/johnny
Are you voting this year??? For whom? Representative???
You, on the other hand, are saying that I have to vote for the liberal R to save America.
Completely backwards from what Reagan was saying.
He dragged them along to his side, he didn't compromise and become liberal to create a majority.
/johnny
He did amnesty.
The republican senator won't be getting my vote, since he's a liberal. Neither will the dem. I'll vote for a conservative.
/johnny
Who are you voting for for your Representative??
NAMES please. I will give you the names that I’m voting for.
Otherwise, it's none of your damn business.
I will be voting for Abbott for governor, though. He's a conservative.
/johnny
Are you saying that to save America, I must now vote for any republican politician that is for amnesty?
/johnny
I LOVE it when a man says "I won't tell you who I;m voting for....none of your damned business, I KNOW it's either a LOSER vote or a LOOSERTARIAN vote! THANKS!!!
Wrongo.
++++
Ditto.
Abortion is my #1 sticking point.
The Libertarian party has abortion on demand as a party plank.
I could never vote for that.
Ever.
/johnny
Obviously you are arrogant and overly dramatic. Of course you also side stepped everything in my post and replied with “obviously you’re a kid”. For someone who has been here since 1987 you sure lack the ability to engage in a discussion. All you do is blab blab blab in all caps and talk about how voting for liberal republicans is the way to go and anyone who doesn’t vote for a liberal republican has destroyed this country.
You support liberals. Hey, we get it. You can come out of the closet finally and express how you really feel about conservatives. Perhaps we can even throw a “coming out” out party for you!
You don’t get it and I don’t think you’ll ever get it. You’re too stuck in your own little vote Republican no matter what world. 80% with you?? Are you serious?? You actually think the liberal republicans are 80% with you?? Are your critical thinking and comprehension skills that poor that you still...just....don’t....get....it....
Any liberal republican is 100% against you if you are a conservative regardless of what they say. You are a conservative, right? Or was my sarcasm above actually spot on and we should throw you a coming out of the closet party?
