The recent PPP poll out of Kansas is totally fun for a lot of reasons.
Pundit World has gone bats over the Senate news, as they rightly should. Independent candidate Greg Orman is beating the incumbent Republican, Pat Roberts, by seven points among voters who think that Democrat Chad Taylor is still in the race — and by 10 points when they're told he's not. Seventeen percent are "not sure." But if Pat Roberts hasn't made a sale with on-the-fence folks after 17 years in the Senate, he's not gonna make it now.
Another exciting result is that the ever-execrable Sam "Brownback" is trailing his Democratic opponent, Paul Davis, by four points, with 14 percent undecided. (The Roberts Rule mentioned above also applies to Sammy, who — first as Senator and then as Governor — has been in office for nearly two decades. And who has caused more destruction to Kansas than the twister that carried Dorothy off to Oz.)
We haven't even mentioned the fact that Kansas's racist, xenophobic and slimy Secretary of State, "Kris Kobach," is only ahead of his Democratic rival by one point, 43 to 42 percent. Wow!
So those numbers are all big news. But there's more. Buried a few pages down are some fascinating Presidential results. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat, is competitive in this deep-red state.
The most that Hillary trails any of the possible Republican candidates mentioned in this poll is by six points, and that's against a guy who's never going to get the GOP nomination because the teabags hate him: Little Jebbie Bush.
Fat Chris Christie (ditto) only beats her by two points. She's behind Fat Mike Huckabee by three, and Rand "Circus Shirt" Paul by two. And she beats teabag hottie Rafael Cruz, 44 percent to 41 percent.
Kansas, you're giving us Cheshire cat grins. We are hereby crossing our paws that the Republicans nominate a true right-wing nutcase in 2016 — so he can go down to defeat to Hillary and her 400 electoral votes. We cats PURR.
