Kansas Tea Party activists may not support Orman, who many view as a liberal Democrat despite his "independent" label, but they may be more likely to stay at home on election day than vote for Roberts, even with the one time appearance of Palin.
Steve Shute, for instance, a City Councilman in Gardner, Kansas and Tea Party activist, told The Hill on Tuesday "I don't think the conservative grassroots in Kansas can be any madder than it is now. I don't know if there's the possibility for a reconciliation."

Ironically, Roberts' voting record, which had been sliding to the center prior to the announcement of the Wolf challenge, has, for the past year, been very conservative. He has a 93% rating during this session of Congress with the Heritage Action Scorecard, placing him as one of the top three most conservative Senators in Washington.

That's certainly the opinion and likely behavior of many here on Free Republic. I don't think that it makes sense to do that, either personally or for the benefit of the conservative movement, but many are apparently going to do it in spite of the fact that it will help elect a very liberal phony Independent.
