Rethugs are running scared now…Don’t ya just love it?

“Quick, get ‘The Fixer’ on the phone. We need to stop the bleeding.”
National GOP…Is that a euphemism for the Koch Bros., Karl Rove or Prince Rebus?

Koch of Kansas will have their own mega-dollar gameplan I’m sure.

Is this Roberts’ Coakley impersonation? You know, where you do nothing but expect to get elected?

That’s what everyone here knows about Roberts now. I doubt many voters knew that last election cycle.

He really believed he was a shoe-in and now he’s shitting his drawers. That’s what I find most amusing.

Right wingers are actually hoping for a legal fight, since there are apparently two statutes that could force either Taylor or another Democrat on the ballot. In short, they want to maintain a three way race to keep Roberts from losing.

Will “Lee Atwater” buy Roberts a new home along with the new ad campaign? If MS and KS are any indications some of these guys are on life support, moving at a snail’s pace.

Money won’t buy you love in a family feud. The voters of KS are simply tired of budget cuts and wedge issues. The Koch brothers even oppose windmills in KS while WY, CA and CO are gaining jobs in the industry.

They didn’t think their pet snakes would bite them and the rage is above money now. Throw the snakes out.

If I were in trouble with my electability, I think I’d conspicuously rescue a puppy and help orphans build bird houses, or anything but let the GOP lend a hand.

shoo-in, not shoe-in, queen. Tut Tut.
On the other hand, it would be gratifying to stick a shoe up any GOP butt.

Roberts has taken every race he’s been in from 60% to 80%. At 78 years old, I doubt he even remembers how to campaign.

The GOP has shit all over Kansas—fulfilling Brownback’s most fervid wet dreams----and now there isn’t much that can be done to salvage Roberts’ candidacy.

That should endear Roberts to the tea party crowd. LOL.
