The Democrats had a little known candidate in Chad Taylor that was running close to Republican Senator Pat Roberts. Taylor has decided to drop out, but there was a fairly strong candidate running s an Independent in Greg Orman who might make things really interesting in this race.
Quote:
A Democratic candidate for the Senate seat in Kansas has withdrawn from the race, paving the way for a serious third-party contender against longtime Republican Sen. Pat Roberts — and jolting Republicans’ calculus for retaking the Senate.
Chad Taylor, a little-known and underfunded candidate who won the Democratic nomination last month, told the Kansas secretary of state’s office Wednesday afternoon that he is withdrawing from the race, a spokeswoman for the office said. That move could present Roberts with a strong reelection challenge from businessman Greg Orman, an independent candidate who, according to one recent poll, led Roberts in a head-to-head matchup.
I was fixing to post this...was gonna ask everyone what they thought of this...the report I saw says the independent is actually beating Roberts head to head by 10%! Anyone know what he stands for?
Do you think he's that stupid? If he does that, he's a one term wonder in Kansas.
Ideology wise he is a much better fit with the Democrats than the GOP. They will also likely be electing a Democratic Governor, as Brownback is in deep. Orman is being non-committal, but considering his ideology and the attacks coming from the GOP it is very likely he will caucus with the Democrats.
Kansas voters aren't like the moonbats you're used to on the coasts and big cesspools, er cities.
Well then, not to worry. He won't get elected.
