No matter how many endorsements Orman has, dude is the least substantive candidate I've ever seen. Pat Roberts will be able to knock him down and win, maybe not comfortably, but win.

Living in Kansas and being quite politically involved here, I'm thinking Orman will pull off an upset win. Head to head, PPP has him 10% up on Roberts, but with Taylor still on the ballot I worry. It depends how the ballot name challenge goes. If Taylor's name is removed or if Dems do well at GOTV for Orman and NOT Taylor, Orman will win. He still has pretty low name recognition, but he has resources like crazy. In the debate yesterday, he came out of the gate a bit cautious but then proceeded to hammer Roberts, who said "Harry Reid" 22 times and had to ask the moderator to calm the crowd. Roberts' residency issues will harm him in the end. Even Republicans here think he's out of touch.

Orman also agreed with at least half of Roberts positions, making his candidacy basically pointless.

From Orman's website

So this math confuses me. Correct me if I am wrong. If Orman wins, Republicans would need to win 7 seats for him to commit GOP? 6 would then be a tie, and goes into wheel and deal territory, and 5 Dems would be in control, so he commits to Democrats?

With such strong Democratic support, I'm not sure that can be the case, though he could prove me wrong.

Why do most Atlas users think (on the prediction section) that the GOP will hold both the governorship and the Senate seat in Kansas?

Because this website is full of GOP hacks.

You're one funny man.
