Sen. Pat Roberts: Independent Greg Orman is a Democrat

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sen-pat-roberts-independent-greg-orman-is-a-democrat/

-snip-
OVERLAND PARK, Kansas - Three-term Republican Sen. Pat Roberts is trying to save his job by arguing that electing his independent opponent, Greg Orman, would essentially put another liberal Democrat in the Senate.

"The eyes of the nation are on Kansas," Roberts said, according to the Washington Post. "The rest of the country is counting on us to get it right this election. It will be up to us, to Kansas, to determine who will be in the majority."

ANOTHER liberal Democrat in the Senate. Be afraid, be very afraid....

So I'm supposed to believe Orman was leading in a Sunday poll by 10 points and in 3 days Roberts closed the gap leading by 1 point.This is what KOS was talking about when he said polling this election has been erratic and he doesn't trust any of them not even his own polling.
