A left-leaning independent.
Orman’s popular appeal isn’t that he’s a lefty, he’s just not part of the two parties who to a lot of people have come to represent every thing that is wrong with the culture of Washington DC.
Greg Orman’s being an independent gives him a lot of street cred in Kansas with those tired with out of touch Democrats and the equally clueless mainstream GOP.
He ran as a democrat, 6 years ago.
Even if he hadn’t, he’s a ****ing democrat if he will caucus with the democrats, which he would. When the democrats drop out and endorse you, it’s cause you’re a democrat.
Angus Queen is a democrat. Bernie Sanders is a democrat. Charlie Crist was a democrat before he officially became a democrat. Jim Jeffords, may he not rest in peace, was a democrat.
Should Roberts have retired? Sure. But he didn’t. We must deal with reality, reality is a conservative Senator faces a democrat and people are more intertested in slamming him, cause he’s old and lives in VA most of the time? A Senator spends most of his time in the DC area? Stop the presses!!!!! What Earth-shattering news!
He is certainly not “toast”, latest poll has him down 5 measly points, giving up is foolish, Harry Reid needs to be the issue here.
The “indie” nonsense is a gimmick to increase his chances at victory by fooling idiots into thinking he’s not a democrat.
