Roberts will win somewhere around 52/47.

I think Roberts will win, but it'll take much more effort and money than it should have.

Too early to know for sure, but Orman is clearly the favorite.

I think Orman will win, but just barely. It will be close.

Orman by about 5%, hardly the closest race of the night.

Tossup. I lean towards Roberts as of now, but my official Atlas prediction has Orman as the winner because I try and be as pessimistic as possible in order to prevent any dashed hopes.

Gun to my head I say Roberts, if only because it's Kansas; if it were a more purple state he'd be utterly dead in the water.

Honestly, seeing as there are seemigly no limits to the lengths that Kris Kobach will go to to ensure that Roberts wins, I'm starting to question whether it is even possible to have a fair election in Kansas at this point. If there's any way for Kobach to somehow steal this election for Roberts, I tend to think that he will do it. The man appears to have zero morals.

http://cjonline.com/news/2014-09-21/ormans-link-jailed-investor-deeper-portrayed

Orman is releasing his financial disclosure report tomorrow, which could be big news. I'm not particularly caught up on this story, but it is going to be giving Republicans a good attack line for the next couple of weeks.



I honestly believe Roberts will win. His numbers are low do to bitter Wolf supports and disdain for Brownback. I think Roberts will be able to win back most of the Wolf supporters by November and I think he'll be able to overcome Brownback by using the Senate majority argument. No one knows much about Greg Orman except for the fact that he's an Independent (omg yay) and promises to be bi-partisan. I even asked a Democratic loyalist the other day to tell me about Orman's views and they were defenseless.

Ultimately, the only thing dragging Roberts down is the residency issue. He's been a fairly good senator for this state and hasn't done anything too objectionable. Orman is going to keep this close, but my guess is that Roberts wins around 52-47.

No idea, I'm picking Orman for the time being. But as the machinery gets going, who knows what's going to happen.

True, I don't think there's any doubt to whether he'd try to undo Katherine Harris if he thought that would save Roberts.

But the thing I don't understand is, what does Kobach get out of this deal? It's one thing to stand by Roberts, but at this point Kobach is expending a substantial amount of his own good will and political capital on highly transparent partisan shenanigans designed to prop up a relatively unpopular incumbent. What's the upside for Kobach? This can't possibly help him in his own race. Threatening to delay military ballots? That attack ad practically writes itself.
