Is it impossible for the Dems to put another candidate in his place in Kansas?
I doubt that it's impossible, but I don't think they want to. Word around town is that the Democrats pressured Taylor to drop. Orman is better funded and already has upwards of 30% of the vote in some polls. Expectation is that Democrats will migrate to him, that Roberts will lose a two man race where he might have won a three man race, and Orman will caucus with the Democrats.
