Why do you want to see those losers win? They are a black eye for the state
I'm not a huge fan of Brownback or Roberts. Brownback tends to get needlessly bogged down in controversies over social issues, and Roberts is too old and "establishment" and has no real connection with Kansas anymore. But while I think they're both generally lousy candidates, I support them both because I'm pragmatic.
Roberts could very well be the difference in whether Republicans retake the Senate, something that desperately needs to happen if we're to have any hope of reforming and/or repealing the damage done by Obama and his Dems. Orman is a Democrat at heart, and there is no doubt he will caucaus with the Dems if control is at stake. He supports, among other things, expnasion of Medicaid in KS, which will be disastrous for our budget when the feds stop paying for it in a few years (that's not a guess - that's the express plan).
Brownback has taken significant strides towards reducing Kansas tax burden and making the state (such that it is) more attractive to business. Paul Davis is a liberal running as a moderate - his only hope for victory is to fool enough "moderate republicans" (mainly in JoCo) to vote for him. He selected Jill Docking - a rabid leftist - as his running mate in order to capitalize on the old Docking political connections and money. He also supports Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid. His tax policy remains shrouded in mystery - he criticizes the state's budget shortfalls while never committing to repeal Brownback's tax cuts - but there can be little doubt that with liberal Davis in the governor's office, taxes will head the other way. Meaningful spending cuts will also be a dead issue.
