Roberts in Brownback camp after all?

The Kansas City Star’s KC Buzz Blog reports that Sen. Pat Roberts will join Sen. Sam Brownback for his presidential campaign launch Saturday in Topeka — a solidarity seemingly at odds with last month’s report that Roberts had touted Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to a group of business bigwigs and lobbyists as "the right man in the right place at the right time" for 2008.

    Roberts was seeming to back John McCain but wasn’t that before McCain shot himself in the foot with his backing of Bush’s new ’surge’ plan?

    I think Roberts backs the escalation too. Brownback, however, does not.

    This, my friends, may be a watershed event, overridden only by the Nixon Watergate fiasco:

    You mean Roberts was for McCain before he was against him?

    Ol’ “flip flop Pat”?

    Say it isnt so….

    Ya know, a boy is allowed to change his mind once in a while.

    Kinda like the illegal wiretapping was good news when it started, then also good news when it stopped?

    heheheheh

    Yep. Ol’ flip flop Pat. Polishing his republican flip flop credentials I see.

    He was probably just pissed that Brownback was dissing his president and their fiasco in Iraq.
