KS-Sen: Taylor drops out

Roberts still wins, IMO.

But if Orman were to win, who will he side with ?
There is no guarantee it will be the Democrats.
Here is an excerpt from a recent article in the Washington Post :

... he won't reveal who he would caucus with -- other than to say he'd likely side with the majority party.

If the majority were to come down to him? He's leaving his options open.

"If I get elected, there's a reasonable chance neither party has a majority in the U.S. Senate," he said. "And if that's the case, what I would do is sit down with both parties and have a real frank discussion about the agenda they want to follow."

He would basically be Angus King I guess?

I mean, I still think Roberts is decently likely to pull it out, if only because, especially compared to Angus King, Orman sounds like he has no substance. At least Angus King had real positions on some issues.

I just read Orman's platform. http://www.ormanforsenate.com/issues
He's basically a moderate hero. "I OWN 2 GUNS BUT I SUPPORT BACKGROUND CHECK"

I guess Davis and Orthman will endorse each other?

So a majority has been appointed by Sebelius?
Good news!

Phil, the problem is that Orman will caucuse with the majority party. That will be difficult to sell that for the reps as "WE MUST VOTE FOR ROBERTS IN ORDER TO GAIN THE SENATE", don't you think???


I believe Orman will lose though.

Guys,
The Supreme Court is under democratic control.

No need to bother!
