Slattery's folks would like you to believe so.
Here's a copy of an mass email they're sending out
Hello David,
Two months ago Jim Slattery announced his candidacy for the United States Senate alongside Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Since then we have put together a professional staff, traveled across the state and seen that Kansans are struggling. But with your help, we can make a difference.
I wanted to share some great news with you. Monday, a poll was released by Rasmussen Reports that puts Jim Slattery within striking distance of Pat Roberts. The poll indicates this race is in single digits and since last month, Jim Slattery has narrowed Pat Roberts lead from 12 to 9 percent. This race looks to be an upset in the making and you can be a part of it.
Pat Roberts has been in Washington since before Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, he has lost touch with the needs of Kansas families. With the price of gas at record highs, the federal government failing to resolve the War in Iraq, and many Kansans lacking access to quality, affordable health care, the truth is Kansans are tired of the old politics and we are ready for change.
With the entrance of Jim Slattery into the race for US Senate, what was once considered a safe seat held by Republicans is now a competitive race. Jim Slattery is the candidate to beat Pat Roberts and will be an independent voice for Kansans working with both Democrats and Republicans to find common sense Kansas solutions to the problems facing our state and our nation.
I hope you will join me in supporting Jim Slattery for the United States Senate and please visit the campaign website or call our office at 1-888-JIM-2008.
Thank you,
Julie

Is Pat Roberts responsible for high gasoline and expensive health care?
Methinks this man is given way too much credit for being able to either start, or stop, these raising prices.
Furthermore, in my opinion, the following quote has a bit of a spin,
"Pat Roberts has been in Washington since before Neil Armstrong landed on the moon,".
Here are the facts, ascertained from both of their websites. (No spin)
Roberts wasn't elected to the US Congress until 1980. Slattery was elected to the US Congress in 1982. In fact, Slattery was elected as a Kansas Representative in 1972.
So, I guess, if we keep time according to the moon landing, then both of these guys were elected to the US Congress "post-moon".
If "we" Kansans want something besides "old politics" it seems as though neither of these guys fit the bill.

That's all your ever going to get, it will just be new people playing the same game...
Pat Roberts is one of a handful of politicians who has not been corrupted by the Washington establishment. He is a good man and a good Kansan. If you want to talk about retread washed up politicians with ulterior motives, Slattery is your man.
Dave this is thread or blog is a news item which should only be aired on the front of the news paper. This just seems to me like cheap campaing
