A semi-sigh of relief

Finally, some halfway decent news.

Sen. Pat Roberts is up in the latest poll from CNN. The poll of likely Kansas voters gives the Senator a 1 percent edge over independent Democrat Greg Orman.

It's still too close to break out the champagne, but it's a screaming cry better than 10-points behind, which is where other polls suggested Roberts was.

I believe the same poll shows Brownback down by only 1 percent to Davis as well.

If the two Republicans atop the Kansas ticket manage to pull this one off...
