Mitt Romney, Bob Dole Stump for Sen. Pat Roberts in Kansas
Published at
Inset: US Senate(OVERLAND PARK, Kan.) — With just a week left until Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., learns his fate in his toughest reelection bid yet, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stumped for Roberts alongside fellow failed presidential candidate Bob Dole in Kansas Monday.
With three-term incumbent Roberts facing a dead heat, according to recent polls, with his Independent challenger Greg Orman, Romney, sporting a Kansas City Royals jacket, told supporters in Overland Park that a vote for Orman would count as a “third vote” for President Obama.
Romney and Dole are just two of the more than half a dozen big-name GOP members to come to Roberts’ aid. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is now set to enter the fight with a six-figure ad buy in the state.
Kansas has arguably emerged as the GOP’s most unexpected investment in 2014, and one that prospective 2016 candidates may not soon forget.
