Could it not be that most Conservatives just don’t want anything to do with Roberts? I admit I don’t live in Kansas but from what I’ve read Roberts is very much detested by the majority of the Republican base and apparently for good reason it would seem. Me thinks the GOP-e screwed up big time and backed the wrong pony (or would that be NAG in this case) back in the primary?!
Roberts is far more conservative than most of the GOP establishment, but he is certainly one of them from the standpoint of time in Washington and willingness to support the party leadership.
Kansans were (and are) upset that he has forgotten his state except for constituent services and chores that he does for the agri business and aviation lobbyists. Liberal Republicans (there are many of those in this state) are supporting Greg Orman because he is even more liberal than are they. Conservatives are supporting Greg Orman because they haven’t heard that the primary is over and/or they have no idea what they are doing.
