They took him off the ballot?

“So if a person cast a party line vote does Orman get the vote in his tally?”
I don’t know how the voting functions there. Here in MA, we have to fill in ovals, so that wouldn’t work. If there’s some kind of “all democrat” option, I would think he wouldn’t get votes from those people because he’s not a “democrat” on the ballot.
A Kansan could better answer.
And if all of Clintons supporters went for Perot then Bush would have lost.
And if my Aunt had testicles, she’d be my Uncle.
You may be right, but the timing is bad and by having to shift the deadline for mailing ballots overseas, it opens Republicans up to the charge that they have leveled against the Democrats for working to supress the military vote. It’s not true, of course, but that won’t stop the D’s, will it?
“no time to litigate over whether Democrats have to name a replacement on the ballot”
First thing that crossed my mind.
Ugh, we’e not going to win the senate... and this time it will be due to the Establishment’s idiocy in incumbent races

Orman cannot play the game of not knowing which majority leader to support. Even moderate GOPers will not vote for a guy that will vote for Dirty Harry. From now on, this race must be about Harry Reid, yes or no, with I don’t know or I won’t say meaning yes.
“and this time it will be due to the Establishment’s idiocy in incumbent races”
That’s why we didn’t win the senate LAST time! Hoekstra in MI, Allen in VA, Berg in ND, Thompson in WI, Rehberg in MT, Mack in FL, Wilson in NM.
They can blame Akin and Mourdock all they want, but all their preferred candidates went down in flames in 2012. And it’s likely that some will again this year.
Difference, those were establishment candidates for either open seats, or challenging weak dems.
This time around, it sits on a knife edge. I still predict we maybe take the senate by 1, but if somewhere doesn’t come through, like Iowa for example, Pat Roberts will have cost us the senate. The establishment’s drive to protect incumbents, their disgusting tactics in Mississippi, have dried up their funding and enthusiasm.
You may be right. My hope is that we’ll lose a few but still take the Senate. Brown’s ahead in NH, Gardner’s pulling away in CO, and Ernst is ahead by 6 in IA. We’ve already got WV, MT and SD in the bag. That’s 6. But if we lose, say, McConnell, Roberts and Graham, we need to take AK, AR, LA and/or NC. MI, MN, OR and NJ are also outside possibilities.
It could be done more easily if there was enthusiasm, but they have successfully tamped that down (I think intentionally).
Of Akin and Mourdock, one was a fake.
Taking the Senate means at least a chance to block Obama’s nominees. Not taking it makes our nightmare continue.
A more likely occurrence than Taylor's supporters going to Roberts. They'll go with the other Democrat, Orman.
We shall see, won’t we? That’s the thing about elections, no one can predict them with 100% accuracy.
Thanks to Harry Reid and the nuking of the filibuster, democrats have already packed the DC Circuit court, NLRB and others. There really isn’t much left to block. If there were, Harry Reid would finish them off in his lame duck session. I hope the GOP wins the Senate, but with McConnell as their leader and RINO’s like Cochran and Roberts as senior senators, it won’t matter much.
New lawsuit from Kobach as he demands a Democrat candidate, any candidate remain on ballot.
Wow, imagine that, a court gets to decide ballot law.
I thought the legislature did that, along with the executive branch executing the law.
Suppose the entire Kansas legislature and executive branch ought to resign, let the “judges” handle everything.
And don’t forget if the rhinos win control you will see the Thad cockroach, john Cornyn, McCain and several others start that gang of X bullshit again
Count on it. They have to be the center of the universe.
