KS politics isn't my forte, but I'm surprised that there hasn't been any buzz about a primary challenger to Roberts. To me, he seems like the type of Republican the tea party would go after.

With the intra-party upheaval in KS in recent cycles, there surely can't be a shortage of ambitious far-right Republicans there. Maybe Huelskamp? He's become one of the House leadership's most hated caucus members, so I can see him wanting to get out of Boehner's House.

SoS Kris Kobach is staying put. There was some speculation that he may go for a promotion.

Huelskamp is probably the biggest prospective threat to Roberts now.

Well, this race was over quick. Like a boss, today Roberts rolled out endorsements from his most likely potential challengers, Rep. Tim Huelskamp and SOS Kris Kobach. Both Huelskamp and Kobach are as conservative as they come, so this basically precludes any challenge to Roberts from the far-right.

With Roberts' right secure and the general election as a formality, KS wrests the title of "Most Boring 2014 Senate Race" from RI or WY.

The SCF endorsed Robert's opponent, Milton Wolf.

Wolf takes a page out of Manchin's book (sorta) and runs over Obamacare with his truck in his latest ad.

Roberts' internals show him ahead of Wolf 69-15.

NYT story on Roberts. It has the usual establishment vs. tea party narrative.  

Whats with this though?
