Happy to take the bait
The whole point of his residency issue is that he left his native state of Kansas a long, long time ago. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1957 and was commissioned as a Marine Corps officer. After he left the Marine Corps, he moved to Arizona and took a job as a journalist. In 1967, he moved to Washington as a staffer for Keith Sebelius, the long time Republican member of the House for Kansas 1, and the father-in-law of Kathleen Sebelius. He was elected to the Sebelius seat upon Sebelius’ retirement and then elected to the Senate when Kassenbaum-Landon retired.
Not only has he lived in Washington for 47 years, he has been a card carrying member of the Republican establishment for much longer as his father was the Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party and then Chairman of the Republican National Committee until fired by Eisenhower for his involvement in a bribery scheme.
I think that your problem is more likely that this issue is hitting home and Roberts has not done well countering it. The notion that only professional politicians are eligible for the exalted office of Senator is one that I reject out of hand.
Roberts is an establishment and Washington insider to the very depth of his bones.
Who is Milton Wolf ?
And the whole point WHY the residency issue has failed to gain track for Wolf is the double standards from his detractors. 90% of the Tea Party people BASHING Roberts for leaving Kansas a long time ago were APPLAUDING Liz Cheney for doing so in Wyoming and then seeking a Senate seat there 30 years later when she lived in Virginia. So I guess it's only bad when Roberts does it.
People aren't buying the selective outrage.
The Wolf campaign has gotten a whole lot of mileage out of the ad showing Roberts saying that he comes “home” to Kansas “Everytime I have an opponent..... That ol’ sucker is Virginia’s 3rd Senator. He has not been in KS since his kids were in Elementary School. I wish enough Jayhawks had the ba**s to send the old coot back to Virginia to stay.
