Assuming the KS Supreme Court requires the KS Dem. Party to choose a replacement candidate before the election, with the KS Democrats refusing to choose one and with the election being held between Orman and Roberts, does the KS law allow to challenge the general election after it is held, invalidate it and set a new election ?

Yeah, I agree with her. Orman is a nice guy, but he hasn't make much of his political positions clear.

I'd still vote for him over Roberts - he know how he stands.

Could the KS Dems just put Orman on their line?

That's the thing they absolutely shouldn't do.

Guys,
The Supreme Court is under democratic control.

No need to bother!

Greg Orman, the independent U.S. Senate candidate in Kansas, told The [Kansas City] Star’s Editorial Board Monday that he could not name a Supreme Court justice that he would have opposed had he been in office.

Way to go. Smiley If only more politicians were thinking like Orman, US politics might not be the single most hated thing in the world, inside as well as outside of the US.

Well, hopefully he'd be a vote for ending judicial filibusters then.

Roberts' ads are getting more ridiculous and over the top as he becomes more and more desperate to turn things around. His newest attacks? Orman and Obama's names both start with "O"!!! Also AMNESTY! And Orman is apparently a politician, unlike Senator Roberts.

The old DC fossil has no idea how to even run a campaign. This is your brain on safe states. Tongue

What do you expect when your campaign is run by the visionary team of political veterans responsible for such campaigns as Linda McMahon 2012, Karen Handel 2014, Ken Cuccinelli 2013, and Brian Dubie 2010?

To be fair, Brian Dubie actually didn't do too bad, considering he only lost by 1.8% in an ultra-liberal state. Also, Cuccinelli and McMahon lost because they're bad candidates, not because they had bad campaign managers.

At the same time, Brian Dubie is part of the old guard of Republicans in Vermont (and Jim Douglas's right-hand man), and Phil Scott is still well-liked there even now. He probably would have won had he not gone completely negative.

Brian Dubie was leading by 20 points in the summer and was very popular retiring Republican governor Jim Douglas' lieutenant governor. He should have won.

Brian Dubie was also very conservative and that didn't quite become an issue until he ran for governor.

This. Rove-esque politics do not work in Vermont.

Greg Orman criticizes both Republicans and Democrats in a new ad named "Half Right." Interestingly, a Democratic firm produced the ad...

Orman continues to use Roberts' attack ads to bolster his own nonpartisan/independent message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2GqyWbmQr-A

Good ad.

Democrats don't need put a replacement candidate on the ballot.

Good ad.

He bobbles his head a little too much, but that is a very good ad, and probably defuses Roberts ads now. Not that that will stop him from continuing the self-destruct strategy though.
