KS-Sen: Taylor drops out

[7,052,770]

Isn't Orman to the left of Taylor anyway, politically?

[7,052,770]

If the judge lets Taylor off the ballot but requires Democrats to replace him, could they "nominate" Orman?  Or would that be counter-productive?

Could they "nominate" Milton Wolf to draw votes away from Brownback?

[7,052,770]

Didn't we agree the best solution was to nominate a random democrat who was named "Pat Roberts"?

I think they should just nominate Milton Wolf and peel even more votes away from Roberts.

Orman would just be another vote for Harry Reid's liberal Senate majority.

Sure, but lots of voters just don't care about stuff like that. And like I've said before, it doesn't really matter who controls the Senate unless one side has 60, the House and the presidency. Very little is going to be accomplished in the next 2 years.

The Pat Roberts campaign goes completely into lala land.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Yes, Senators from Nevada and Missouri ensured that the Kansas State Supreme Court was packed with liberal activist judges.

The fact that he uses the term "Democrat primary" just makes him sound petty and unintelligent. (Which may be what he was going for.)

Wolf might endorse Orman but only if Orman publicly commits to caucusing with the GOP. Orman seems skittish on both the commitment and meeting.

Hmmm, I guess Wolf just isn't a true believer like Chris McDaniel.

I find this very strange a tea partier would endorse a centrist, clearly a personal blood feud thing

Well what I was actually referring to was the "string attached" that Orman would have to caucus with the GOP. If he were a true believer like Chris McDaniel, he would want the Republican nominee to lose and want the Republicans not to control the senate, as a way of sticking it to the Establishment.
