That's what happens when a party drives off and attacks its base.

I would rather not vote if my choice is a Rep who attacks the base. It may be my only way to unseat a incumbent. Gone are the days of just pulling the lever because it is the lesser of two evils.

I think we should differentiate between Roberts and Brownback. Roberts may have drifted off the reservation, and to a large extent that is the source of his problems. And frankly, there isn’t a huge difference between him and his opponents.

But Brownback is different. He has rather courageously cut and re-structured taxes, eliminated teacher tenure, and tried to eliminate automatic union dues skimming for state employees. The result is that he has been portrayed as a near satanic anti-education zealot, who is ‘experimenting’ with the Kansas economy. So Brownback hasn’t left his base, on most issues. Instead he is facing an organized effort by the teachers and state employee unions to oust him.

BTW, I have little faith in this polling. I can’t imagine Orman really getting 20% at election time - he doesn’t stand for anything whatsoever, other than opposition to the two parties. He’s airing one commercial....and I anticipate it will be the only one he can afford...and eventually the ‘new and shiney’ will wear off of him. Roberts should win....Brownback is a toss up.
