Solid coverage of the Kansas race for U.S. Senate from the Washington Examiner.
Editor Byron York attended yesterday's debate between Greg Orman and Pat Roberts. Roberts was a little-bit of a one-hit wonder, repeatedly noting that Orman is a Democrat.
His one-note appearance was necessary -- Roberts will only win if Kansas recognize Orman for the jackass in sheep's clothing that he actually is.
It's beginning to work. FINALLY. (Side bar: The Kansas Republican Party is claiming the poll turnaround can be attributed in part to a full-court press including a ground game. Um. Where is this Roberts' ground game? I guess maybe the grassroots people in Harper, Kan., are knocking it out of the park, but here in most-populated Johnson County? Yeah. OK.)
Here's the important takeaway from the York article:
"The bottom line is this is still Kansas,
which has not sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since the 1930s. If the
polls are indeed tipping back to Republicans, no one should really be
surprised."
