senate race has been a slug fest and the incumbent senate pat roberts is defending against wolf. it has been an interesting race and i would imagine that roberts will win this primary, but one interesting thing to follow is whether or not that margin is thin. and if it's thin, it might suggest that roberts is vulnerable. >> so the role of the tea party in this race, i want to show our viewers, tea party citizenship fund that invested $75,000 to oadcast a kansas cable television link to senator pat roberts. here is the ad and get your take on it. >> senator pat roberts does president think he should have to live under the same law. he takes a special exemption. yes, he wants special treatment. when congress realized when obamacare was, he took it. that's wrong. on august 5, vote dr. milton wolf to send a message. repeal obamacare. tea party patriots citizen fund is responsible for the content of this message. >> tim carpenter, are the issues that are being debated in washington and being advertised in this race, having an impact on voters? >> i think so. if you did some polling, yo

pat roberts has brought in $4 million -- $3.4 million in that time frame, almost $2 million more thanlenger, wolf. the behemoth on the far right throughout the cycle has been the club for growth has been backing conservative challengers that have knocked off incumbents. it has spent $6 million this cycle on expenditures. and it has not gotten behind either of these challengers. while both have attracted grassroots support, especially in these last couple of weeks of the campaign, the lack of that major outside help has been a big handicap so far. today,kansas primaries tennessee is on thursday. which candidate is in better shape at this point? >> when you talk to conservatives on both sides, the far right and the establishment, they are pointing to pat roberts as being the most in trouble of the two. alexander did everything right throughout this process. he raise a ton of money and got his organization in early and he attacked. dogged bys has been issues of residency, whether or not he spends too much time in d.c. if you look at kansas and what has been dogging pat roberts, if there'

pat roberts, incumbent senator, hasn't exactly done himself favors in this race. he spends a lot more time in washington than he does in kansas. that's a big no-no especially in the tea party era. turns out his official primary residence in kansas, the one that he, himself, claims, is a friend's recliner sofa. the senate conservatives fund, and other outside spending groups have spent heavily trying to knock off roberts tomorrow. the polls have been tightening a little bit in the last few weeks. pat roberts fits the profile of the kind of republican incumbent who's been caught sleeping by the tea party in one primary after the other in these past few years, especially after eric cantor's shocking primary loss this spring, this kansas race is one political observers have been keeping a close eye on. could there be one more big tea party surprise in the works here? that primary in kansas is tomorrow. it's along with primaries in michigan, missouri, and washington state. we're going to have updates. we're going to have complete results for them for you right here on

looks like pat roberts will win.ugly spectacle with the politics of kansas. >> chris cillizza, who's mutt wolf? radiologist i presume. he says he's second cousin of president obama? >> it's the mother's side of the family. it's a complicated family tree. a guy that works with me did a legitimate family tree and very convoluted and second cousins to president obama. i mean, i think that's a way to get him some attention. you know, honestly, pat roberts was there to be beaten. susan is right. residency problems. not run the campaign we have seen, for example, lamar alexander with a primary likely to win on thursday. he's not run a good campaign and milton wolf never sort of got going. very, very badly outraised 3 to 1 by roberts and problems with his own campaign. i think if wolf loses and eric cantor has proven i will never say i know anything about primary politics and polling but i think if wolf loses i think they'll say this is a missed tount tie second topic today, both of you, mcdonald trial. susan page, the test

tell us more about milton wolf versus pat roberts.the nastiness is actually eclipsing the whole obama's cousin thing. >> it is. this is one of those races that isn't so much about the issues at all, that's why it's become so nasty. usually when we see a republican incumbent challenged from the right, it is because they're too moderate, not conservative enough. pat roberts is incredibly conservative. very few people will say otherwise. he has had a few votes that have made the right angry. he voted to increase the debt ceiling, he voted to approve kathleen sebelius for hhs secretary, sebelius is of course from his home state of kansas. but most of this is really about something different that the right doesn't like, which is entrenched power, career politicians. he's been there for almost half a century, chris, and that's longer than his opponent, milton wolf, has actually been alive. so there really is a very stark contrast there and of course wolf is a radiologist, he is sort of a first time politician so you have that, and then of c

the pat roberts is defending against milton wolf. it's been a volatile interesting race. i would imagine that roberts will win this primary, but one interesting point to follow is whether or not that margin is thin. if it's thin, it might suggest he is vulnerable. host: the role of the tea party in this race. i want to show our viewers this tea party citizenship fund that invested 75,000 to broadcast a kansas cable television link to senator pat roberts. here is the ad. get your take on: >> senator pat robertses doesn't think he should have to live under the same laws. he takes an exemption from obamacare. he wants special treatment. when congress realized how bad obamacare was, they asked for a special exemption. congress got it, roberts took it. that's wrong. on august 5th vote dr. milton wolf to send a message. repeal obamacare. tea party citizens responsible for the content of this message. host: tim carpenter, are the issu issues debated in washington and advertised in this race having an impact on voters? guest: i think so. if you did some polling, you would learn in
