I am noticing repeated vandalism on this page against independent candidate Greg Orman, and wanted to bring attention to it. Users continue to rewrite the page to imply he was the 2008 Democratic Senate candidate. However, in reality, he was not even on the primary ballot--he very briefly considered a run as a Democrat, but chose to withdraw from the race before even filing for the ballot. I have changed his description to clarify that he withdrew before even making the primary ballot. However, users keep changing it back. These changes raise some clear POV concerns. To me, it seems this is an attempt by Pat Roberts supporters to make their competition seem more liberal than he actually is. For what it's worth, I believe Orman also used to be a Republican, so make of that what you will. I therefore suggest that, if this vandalism continues, this page gets locked until the day of the election. Cat spasms ( talk) 20:50, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm not going to contest it on the page but it seems that until Chad Taylor is removed from the ballot he should be considered 'in the race'; contrary to this removal of him from the info box. Swliv ( talk) 00:59, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
On a similar note, the polling section has notes on whether or not the pollster informed the participants that Taylor dropped out. Is that even relevant? I see no purpose to noting that. It's not like poll workers will be allowed to tell people walking up to vote that he attempted to drop out of the race. In my opinion, those participants are getting the same options under the same circumstances that voters at the polling place will experience. Considering how uninformed the general voting population is I'm surprised his numbers aren't still in the double digits. Rxguy ( talk) 20:18, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
The template above which says "This page was nominated for deletion on June 23 2011. The result of the discussion was delete" seems to be correct; in 2011 the 2014 election was deemed too far in the future and it and a raft of like 2014 pages were deleted. Obviously it is reinstated in good standing now. The deletion link above refers to "...Alabama,_2014"; that appears to be just a mass-production error. Swliv ( talk) 00:56, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Tim Huelskamp and Kris Kobach never declined to run. They simply didn't run, and they endorsed Roberts. Other people who endorsed Roberts are Brownback, Colyer, Dole, Estes, Jenkins, Pompeo, Schmidt, and Yoder. Should they also be listed as declining to run simply because they didn't run? Sources do not say those listed actually declined. Reywas92 Talk 21:23, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
