You are quite correct for this year. However, when you take a little longer view, a different picture emerges.
Using Freedom Works, we find that his rating for 2014 is 89%, pretty good. But, his lifetime average is 79%, not quite hall of fame numbers. Let’s look at his years in the league since 2005:
05 - 79%
06 - 67%
07 - 50%
08 - 57%
09 - 77%
10 - 91%
11 - 65%
12 - 54%
13 - 91%
14 - 89%
That’s one of the reason that I wasn’t buying what he was selling. More important, from my standpoint is his record as an absentee Senator who doesn’t live here and believes that taking care of the Agri Business and Aviation industry lobby equals taking care of constituents. He’s a second generation professional politician and that sort need to be viewed with considerable suspicion.
Now that he’s squeaked by with a resounding vote of confidence from 48% of Republican voters, he will no doubt roll on to reelection without much trouble. The question is what can we expect from Roberts in his next term. I predict that Kansas will see him less and that his conservative voting record will dip into the 50% range. What’s your prediction.
Here's one of the reasons I didn't buy what Miltie was selling. His "fearless conservative fighter" image appears to have been created solely for his Senate race and didn't exist prior to that:

I find it interesting how Wolf's fan club says this senate race should be judged on what the candidate has done instead of what he says. Yet their own candidate was exempt from their rules.

That would put him around where Arlen Specter's voting record was prior to switching parties, so I'm going to predict you're completely wrong. I doubt the Milton Wolf fanclub will ever admit they were wrong, though. The Liz Cheney fanclub insisted over and over again that Liz Cheney was "forcing Mike Enzi to the right" and he only voted conservative because she was challenging him and he was afraid of losing a primary. Now she's long gone after dropping out of the race, and he's still reliably voting conservative. Not a single Liz Cheney cheerleader has apologized for their false smear against Enzi or admitted they were wrong.
