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.

That's actually a really great ad. Very sympathetic. Smiley

The only thing I don't like about Orman is his voice, which kinda gets on my nerves sometimes. Tongue And maybe his head-shaking, which is getting a bit old. If you didn't know better, one might mistake him for having Parkinson's disease or something. Tongue

Now Orman just needs to put out any actual beliefs, and he may pull this out. Roberts still has one move - to paint Orman as an indecisive fool who touts his independence to cover up a lack of substance.

Orman has substance - it's just that alot of his policies are more liberal than the Democrat who was in the race.

This is of course Kansas, too. So fleshing out any of his policies would surely be a disaster.

Did you see the debate? He spent most of the time agreeing with Pat Roberts.

The debate is what keeps me hopeful that Roberts can pull this off. People like their original perception of Orman - a centrist independent who is fed up of what is going on in D.C., but that isn't really what he is. Roberts needs to keep hammering him - define him. A lot of people still don't know who Orman is.

I still think Roberts is in a better position than Brownback, despite what polls say.

Who are you to say who he really is?

Washington Post's Aaron Blake: Pat Roberts is in big trouble, but he’s not a goner yet.

The article notes that while Roberts' favorability rating is quite low and he isn't even capturing the full support of his own party, what he does have going for him is that he conceivably has room to improve with Republican voters, his opponent Orman is not yet defined as a candidate, opening the possibility of negatively defining Orman in coming weeks, and polls are indicating that people care about which party controls the Senate, which could work in Roberts' favor in a fundamentally Republican state like Kansas.

Roberts' ads continue to be caricatures of themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlLw5-obItE

The scary music and dramatic filters are completely unnecessary and just make the whole thing look like a joke.

If nothing else, the 2014 elections are probably the most sexualized that elections have ever been on Atlas Forum.

No surprises there. Did he try to make Orman look like a communist?

Milton Wolf, who garnered 41% of the vote in the GOP primary, endorsed Pat Roberts today. He had remained quiet for the past few months.

He also officially endorsed Brownback, something he also had been wavering on.

I knew of many Wolf supporters who had planned on abstaining from voting in the Senate race - this will certainly help Roberts with the conservative wing of the party. In a race as close as this one, this may be enough to pull Roberts across the finish line. Not sure if it'll help Brownback much, but definitely a helpful boost, regardless of what outsiders think of Wolf.

A PAC has created a Frank Underwood-inspired ad attacking Greg Orman. Kinda clever...haven't heard it on the radio yet.

Well, they voted for Sebelius twice despite her being pro-choice.
