Are they high? That actually helps Roberts. It’d be like Bush eliminating Clinton and only having to run against Ross Perot.

Sounds like a Torch Torricelli moment in Kansas.

Not quite, the Independent in this case “was” a Democrat that did not win.

“Polls show Orman leading in the contest in a head-to-head matchup.”

Orman leads Roberts in the polls by 5 or 6 points.

[bigbob]

Yes, except Perot was never ahead in the polls.

Looking for another meltdown vanity...

This does not help Roberts at all. Without a Democrat line on the ballot, the Democrats cannot vote a straight party ticket as they are wont to do. The hope is that they will vote for Orman who is, of course, really a Democrat. They are also hoping that many Republicans will vote for Orman thinking that he is truly an Indepdent. Quite a few Freepers think that he is, so this is not so farfetched.

And if all of Clintons supporters went for Perot then Bush would have lost.
