I was a little surprised that the Suicide caucus gave up on tilting at the Import/Export bank this time around. There's always next year, I guess.

That guy from Princeton, Dr. Wang, seems to think the Dems will hold the Senate. Still a toss up in my book. Either way '16 is going to go very bad for the Repugnants by what I'm reading.

Pat Roberts seems to be losing in Kansas.

The Kansas Supreme court turned down a desperate last ditch effort by the SOS to force the Dem back on the ballot. Now he's trying to force the Kansas democratic party to choose another candidate, the Dems are laughing. I mean, how can he force the party to pick a candidate?

Kansas is just loony under Brownback.

It would be wild if the GOP lost the governorship and a Senate seat in Kansas, of all places. Brownback had a free rein to implement GOP economic policy and screwed his state over royally in the process.

We would have to get D-Ray a gift basket. I'll donate a good bottle of California vino.

I could send him some Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, but that landlubber wouldn't know what to do with them.

Kobach the Kansas Sec. Of State is on the Roberts election team I heard and if so, it's a conflict. Yet he is the one ordering a replacement candidate. Just to piss him off I would pick someone out of state.

Yeah, maybe one of Roberts' neighbors.

In Ohio the GOP economic policy seems to be successful.

Oh and the Dem challenger to the Governor just had the police union yank their endorsement. Not that it mattered anyway.
