Pat Roberts' re-election, portraying a vote for his independent challenger as a vote for Democratic President Barack Obama. OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Former Republican pres- idential nominee Mitt Romney campaigned Monday in Kansas with U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, an effort to bolster the three-term incumbent's message that GOP voters must re-elect him to thwart the agenda of Democratic President Barack Obama. Romney, who lost to Obama when the president won re-election in 2012, appeared with Roberts and other top Kansas Republicans for a rally at an upscale suburban Kansas City-area restaurant and bowling emporium. Introducing Romney was Kansas political icon Bob Dole, a former U.S. Senate majority leader and the 1996 GOP presidential nominee. Roberts, 78, is in a tight race with independent candidate Greg Orman, a 45-year-old businessman and co-founder of a private equity firm. Republicans need six seats to regain a Senate majority during Obama's final two years in office, and they've always counted on Roberts winning in his GOP-leaning state. Orman is running as a centrist, promising to caucus with whichever party wins a clear majority in the Senate or to play kingmaker if neither does. Roberts and his fellow Republicans portray Orman as a liberal Democrat in disguise as they try to keep disaffected GOP and unaffiliated voters in the senator's camp. Both Romney and Roberts spent much of their remarks criticizing Obama on domestic and foreign policy issues. Obama received only 38 percent of the vote in Kansas in winning re-election two years ago. "It is essential that we elect Pat Roberts again to the U.S. Senate," Romney said. "A vote for Greg Orman is a vote for Barack Obama, and America should not make that mistake three times." Romney's appearance was in Johnson County, the state's most populous county and home to 22 percent of its 1.74 million registered voters. It's normally a GOP stronghold — both Romney and Dole carried it with 58 percent of the vote in their presidential runs — but Orman is from Olathe, and with his business profile, he expects do well there. Orman visited an Olathe retirement community before meeting with volunteers at a phone bank in Shawnee. Roberts has been dogged by questions about owning a Washington-area home while listing rented space in the home of two Dodge City supporters as his official residence and, in recent weeks, about missing most of the meetings of several committees on which he serves. "No matter how many national politicians Senator Roberts brings to Kansas, Kansans know that Washington is broken and Senator Roberts is part of the problem there," Orman campaign manager Jim Jonas said. Peggy Hamtill, a 74-year-old Leawood retiree who came to the Romney event, said regaining a GOP majority is crucial to her and called Orman a "stealth candidate." "It's important to me that we be able to have a voice," she said.

Hayder Almosa, a Ph.D. student from Iraq, said the friends his family has made at Stouffer are invaluable. He and his wife and their three children often eat and hang out with neighbors. Almosa has found many other students from Iraq at Stouffer. "Before I came here I lived in Park 25 (apartments) and in Park 25 I cannot find someone to or share something with, but here no," Almosa said. "I have lots of friends here." Although Almosa's children are not yet old enough to attend school, many other families at Stouffer including the Medinas send their children to Hillcrest Elementary and other schools in Lawrence. Some students worry their children won't be in the same school district when they have to move. Hillcrest Elementary Principal Tammy Becker said they currently have around 35 students from Stouffer Place and anticipate the return of the majority of those students next year despite families moving. "I understand that KU needs that land to expand, but it's sad from the stand-point that that has been a long standing international community." Becker said. "I see both sides."
