FILE - In this combination of Sept. 2014 photos are: Republican Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, top left; Chad Taylor, top right, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate; Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, bottom left, and Independent Senate candidate Greg Orman. Taylor's petition to remove his name from the Kansas Senate ballot has been disputed by Kobach who backs Roberts.

The Kansas senate race is turning out to be insanely, insanely tight. No idea who wins it. But the weird thing about this race is that at this point you’re probably looking at a knock down drag out race between two guys who are going to caucus with the GOP. And that’s weird.

Depending on the final senate totals, what will be interesting is that just because Orman may caucus with the GOP (and he’s committed to that if the GOP wins the majority) doesn’t dictate how he’ll vote.
