    How the Kansas Senate Race Became 2014’S Most Improbable Tossup

Patrick Miller looks at the state of the race between the three term time incumbent Pat Roberts and his Independent challenger, Greg Orman. He writes that a combination of poor campaigning, residency questions, and the withdrawal of the Democratic candidate from the ballot have come together to provide an unexpected challenge for Pat Roberts this midterm cycle. Ruby red Kansas has only elected Republican senators since 1938. Rarely since have GOP Senate nominees won less than 60 percent of the vote. Polling shows that 47 percent of Kansans identify as or lean Republican. That advantage should carry most Republicans to easy victory. Not so for three time incumbent Pat Roberts in 2014. Roberts’s biggest problem is himself, and his personal flaws have jeopardized not just a safe Republican Senate seat but also his party’s chances at a Senate takeover. Roberts was first elected to Congress in 1980. A center-right conservative, his politics and style now look timidly moderate compared to the firebrands currently favored by the Tea Party. He has morphed from Midwestern legislator focused on agriculture interests to Senate Republican leader on intelligence issues.
