Republicans coping with a Democratic ploy to defeat a GOP incumbent in Kansas have received a break. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., survived a primary battle with a tea party candidate but then was forced to change his strategy for the general election when his Democratic challenger, Chad Taylor,  suddenly dropped out of the race, a move obviously engineered by party leaders to pit Robertson against a stronger opponent, independent Greg Orman. However, Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the state's top election official, has ruled Taylor must stay on the ballot. Robertson now has a better chance of helping Republicans become the majority in the Senate.
