Oh and Tim Huelskamp was one of very few that had the courage to vote against 0bama-loving Boehner for speaker, twice. That courage paid off as Boehner was later forced out.

The flap over school finance has the electorate in a foul mood. This is a State issue and should not affect our national reps, but this is not a perfect world.
My evidence is only anecdotal, but there's a big push to sweep ALL incumbents out, regardless of party affiliation.
School finance has been a sore spot for decades - some KS counties even threated to secede over the distribution of State education funds to local school districts. The State Supreme Court only magnified the problem by declaring State funding plans unconstitutional. This summer it went down to the wire again. Funding was delayed as schools stayed shuttered. Teachers and Parents were understandably concerned that schools may not open in the fall.
The crisis was averted, but nothing was solved and people are fed up over it. Brownback seems to be getting most of the blame (undeservedly), but anyone who's in gov't has a target on his back right now.
