Kansas may have a Senate race after all.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Kansas Voters finds incumbent Republican Senator Pat Roberts with just a four-point lead – 44% to 40% - over Democratic challenger Chad Taylor. Seven percent (7%) like some other candidate in the race, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Kansas was conducted on August 6-7, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Wonder what the Wolf voters will do?
Yeah, GOPe, you beat us alright. You aren’t pulling in near the bucks you did before your declared war on conservatives and oh yeah, those conservatives aren’t turning out to vote for your guy but you won for sure.
Not a dime’s worth of difference.
Roberts should win.
Wolf voters should stay home.
I’m sick of the GOPe. They need to lose the Senate over their tactics of recruiting Leftists to vote in Republican primaries.

Vote for the neither of two evils.....????
I swear this is why ALL elections need a “Vote of No confidence” that tosses both candidates out and they have to re-do the whole primary process and run extirely new candidates...
Imagine if for a presidental vote the “no confidence vote” got higher that 33% it would force both side to have to pick new people to run again and have a special election 1-2 months later....
I would LOVE that as an amendment to reign in the parties a bit.
Factor in the electronic voting machines and the projection becomes R-15%
D-85%

Personally I would prefer a GOPe led Senate to one controlled by Obama. One where we just might give a certain Senator Cruz a bit more leverage. He is the de facto Leader of The House. Maybe he could do the same with the Senate.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Roberts will win. But its good to make it close. Teach him a lesson
Roberts should be defeated.
Republicans need to skip his name on the ballot.
We will never get any change in Washington as long as corrupt establishment insiders like Roberts sit in the Senate.
Maybe we will eventually get our heads out of our a**es, but not until the pain gets so bad we turn off the TVs and put down the iPads.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The establishment party guys fought the battle they were most concerned about: beating a conservative who they could not count on to back the “leadership.”
Losing to a Dim would not be nearly as hard for the establishment guys to take as losing to a conservative who wants to shake things up.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If they vote at all they will probably hold their nose and vote for Roberts. I don't see them going to the independent, Greg Orman.
The independent in the race, Greg Orman, is center-right. If he won he'd likely caucus with the Republicans.
“Roberts should win”
True and that is the way it should be. But, for the best it should be very close and he should have to work for votes from our side. And work very hard. Here is an elderly senator who probably wont survive another term. It does not make sense to put in a Dem who would last a whole term and maybe even win again.

That would be fine with me.
But if you live in Kansas voting for an independent would be pretty risky. The Dems are evil but they are not dumb. That’s why they do whatever they can to split the GOP vote. If you see Ormandy climbing in the polls you may wake to a Dem Senator from Kansas come November.
