Biden Blows Greg Orman's Cover: He 'Will Be With Us'
2014-11-05
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
 blew Kansas Dem stalking horse independent Greg Orman's cover in a radio interview today. Orman hasn't stated which party he'll caucus with in the Senate--actively avoiding announcing whether he'll be with Republicans or Democrats--but Biden stated definitively that Orman "will be with us" if he's elected.

"We have a chance of picking up an independent who will be with us in the state of Kansas," said Biden, as he predicted the outcomes of various Senate races around the country.

Orman has stated that he'll caucus with whichever party holds the balance of power in Kansas, but Republicans have long suspected he's likely to join the Democrats' side. Biden seemed to confirm that belief in this interview.

Biden made the remarks in an interview with WPLR, a Connecticut radio station.

#8  I wonder if polling will be done to see how much this interview effected voters. I would find that at least a little interesting if Biden swung even 3 percent toward Roberts.

#6  Correction - Davis' (Dem - Dirty Bird) party.

But yeah, between the election results, a painfully awkward concession, Biden seals Orman's Kansas career.

An election reminiscent of Plataea.

#4  About the only thing Kansas did not get was the ouster of KS SC Sebelius appointments (2 of them). BTW, Sebelius showed up to Orman's victory party in Lawrence, KS. She looked like she had dragged Mass Street...cuz the end of her nose looked about to fall off. Srzly, looked like the silver mullet was dragging white lines.

Roberts (US Senate) and Brownback (KS Gov) are key holds for Pubs, and anyone interested in Keystone Pipeline.
