Some good news in Kansas, 2014 “Independent”Senate candidate Greg Orman has qualified for the gubernatorial ballot.
Dems aren’t gonna illegally pull their candidate for him like they did in 2014. He should most appeal to disloyal RINO types who might have vote dem against Kobach. This likely relieves Kobach of the need to get 50% to win.
Orman picked a running mate, the most left-wing RINO in the KS Senate, John Doll. He scored a whopping 87% left-wing in 2017. Actually, Doll isn’t the most left-wing Republican (he switched to “Independent” earlier this year), he’s the most left-wing Senator in the entire body !
I find it astonishing a loon like that managed to win the GOP primary in the first place over the incumbent Conservative State Senator.
I got a kick out of Politics1’s Gunzberger calling Doll a “GOP Moderate” when he’s effectively a Communist when he put it up on his Twitter feed today.
Anyway, yes, this is good news. The left will split the vote between these two nutters and Kobach will waltz into the Governorship.
Thanks both of you for the info. Orman is already ahead of the game by running a ton of ads saying “are you tired of dems and repubs?” narrative.
I just hope Kobach runs ads reminding Kansans, where in the Senate race, we discovered Orman was a liberal democrat in Independent clothing.
Laura Kelly reminds me of Kathleen Sebelius part 2. Our state definitely does not need that again. I expect the Kansas medias to give her a boost though.
IMO, the key is to expose and define Orman as just another crazy liberal and let Kelly and Orman split that vote. Let the local medias fight over those two as well. I do like Kobach’s chances if he can expose Orman successfully like Pat Roberts campaign did.

Doll is from the rural SW corner of the state? Shameful.
He was the 2006 rat nominee against Jerry Moran before “joining” the GOP. What a disgrace! It looks like Former RINO Senate President Steve Morris, whom the guy Doll beat had beaten in 2012, seemed to have a hand in the campaign and the NEA also funded Doll. Morris went full libtard after his defeat.
As I said, I’m utterly baffled how such a Communist could win a Republican primary with his record known.
A democrat poll has Kobach up only 1 point, Orman at 9%.
The big news today, RINO pig Bill Graves endorses the democrat.
Graves was always a left-wing RINO creep. I think Kobach’s campaign ought to roll out Sen. Dole, that would counteract Graves.
