he looks like he can knock off sam roberts because of the fact that roberts doesn't have a house in kansasservatives don't like roberts. the independents are saying roberts. so it looks to me that there's a good shot at democrats picking up, like they picked up maine, picking up a conservative state like kansas this way. >> yeah, this is what vice president biden would call a big f-ing deal here. they haven't had that in 80 years. it's amazing roberts is in this much trouble. orman needs the help, of course of the democratic candidate who is trying to stay off the ballot while the republican secretary of state is trying to get him back on to the ballot to divide roberts' opposition. if that effort fails and roberts has to do a head to head with orman, i think you're right. orman has a very good chance of winning. >> i know you got to be objective here, but you're in a round table, which is a dangerous place to be. -- >> watch out. >> do you think this is a good one for the democrats to dream for, that they could make it hard for the republicans to carry the senate. because they'd have to c

so i don't think anyone a year ago would have thought at any level that either sam brownback and certainly pat roberts would be in any major trouble. they are. >> reporter: for the 78-year-old roberts, political vulnerability is an unwelcome stranger. first elected to the house 34 years ago, roberts is finishing his third term in the senate, continuing a string of g.o.p. victories that stretches back to 1938. but roberts has been hit by the same crosswinds that have buffeted other veteran republicans: the sense that he's "gone washington." in february, the new york times revealed that roberts has no home in kansas, that he rents out a room in a supporter's house on a golf course and has rarely been seen back in the state. and roberts is fighting another perception: that he's too much part of the system, a symbol of the older order, and out of step with tea party conservatives, something that may be reflected by how he describes himself. >> people used to ask me all the time what kind of republican i was, i'm just a republican. but i would say probably an eisenhower republican. i know bob dole. he's a

but sam brownback and pat roberts have gone so far to the right a lot of the moderate republicans havey with the brand. >> kansas is next door to missouri. i will give you that. >> and i'm not a fan of the kansas jayhawks. >> i feel that from here. but did i miss some sort of sherman-esque statement from you about never running for president? is there any -- obviously you're involved not only in missouri issues and federal issues, you're interested in what's going on with the senate more broadly. why shouldn't i be asking you if you're running for president? >> you know, it's just kind of an awkward, awful question. >> if i were you, i would be running, as the most centrist senator in the state, the way you've run in missouri, the issues you've been interested in, the way you've stepped into stuff you didn't have to get involved in. america is definitely ready for a woman nominee. why aren't you running? >> i don't know. sometimes people think me stepping in is more like a bull in a china shop. i'm passionate and i do -- i'm not afraid of a fight where i think it needs to be taken. but

i'm stunned that sam may lose that race and then pat roberts. this isn't a knock on sarah palin.siness." but for pat roberts, bob dole republican to bring sarah palin in just smacks of desperation. >> i would put roberts in a special category. ultimately, particularly if he loses he then, you know, becomes the worst campaign of the cycle. i mean i don't think you can have anybody else, you look at the demographics of kansas because he would end up losing to an independent. not even a major party candidate. and you couldn't even find an apartment to rent in topeka. you couldn't find an apartment to rent in wichita. are you kidding me? you didn't see what happened to dick luger. you can't have any sympathy because you look at roberts, it was there. you knew the lessons. it didn't take much. your own colleagues that had served even longer than you had. bob bennett the former utah senate the first victim of this, you know. he put it best. it's not like this, he was blind sided. roberts should have known this problem for a year. >> yeah. >> our thanks to mike allen, chuck todd thank y

in just over an hour candidates dave cortezi and sam ricardo will face off in a debate. michelle roberts is live at e bail where the debate will be held. there are new campaign mailers with different messages? >> reporter: the election a little more than a month away. voters will be receiving these in the mail. the two candidates trying to differentiate themselves on some big issues like public safety and spending. 36 day to go until voters choose a new mayor in san jose. over at cortese campaign headquarters, making calls and talking about public safety. >> what we're hearing from people, they don't feel safe in their neighborhoods. we're trying to reassure them that i'm the candidate to go back to city hall and clean up this mess and bring public safety back to our city. >> reporter: voters in san jose received this mailer from santa clara county supervisor dave cortese. it shows a kicked-in door, "how you gonna call?" he says there's not enough police and too much crime in the city. >> i think it's fear tactics to tell people we don't have the money. there's 140 positions funded but u

you see moderate republicans revolt from the governor, sam brownbeck in a tough race there and pat robertsn the senate primary had a contentious primary against a tea party challenger. he beat him by only eight points. robertson is a hard-time consolidating that support and winning backing from the tea party voters. sarah palin can help with that. the question is at the end of the day does roberts bring his voters back home? it's not clear. the polls show the race close. >> they're getting everybody out there. sarah palin, john mccain, rand paul, jeb bush. it's all hands on deck there. >> they're sending their strategists in there. trying to revamp the campaign. >> you have a challenger in the race who won't say who he comes to washington who he's going to caucus with. he basically said he'd caucus with whoever has the majority. >> it may come down to one seat, could come up with him. >> 37 days left, anyone who tells you they know how the senate is going is making it up. we have a lot of great races. everybody sit tight. tom roe's news today, our great reporters share tips and get you out

this is sam sutter speaking just outside the courthouse. >> the decision that robert, kid , and i comehis is to district attorney who handled this case, reached today was a decision that certain he took into consideration a caused to the taxpayers in somerset. but was made with our concern for their children, the children of bristol county and beyond in mind. climate change is one of the greatest crises our planet has ever faced. opinion, the political leadership on this issue has been gravely lacking. i am heartened that we were able to forge an agreement that both parties were pleased with and that appeared to satisfy the police and those here in sympathy with the individuals who were charged. i am also extremely pleased that we were able to reach an agreement that symbolizes our commitment at the bristol county district attorney's office to take a leadership role on this issue. >> that is very inspiring to me and i'll carry that with me in my heart. thank you. >> [indiscernible] >> i certainly will be in new york in two weeks, how is that? [cheers] i'm walking round with bill mckibb

roberts will survive. so it's been fascinating to watch this unfold. the father of a sam brownbeck campaign staffer seems to have been drafted to put a democratic candidate, a third candidate on the ballot. he doesn't seem to be all that in to his own lawsuit. republicans never thought he would fight so hard. did i say new? not also for the senate seat that's part of the great depression. but this is no ordinary year. and that comes with implications for the rest of the country and who's in control in washington. joining us now, dave keling. you have been having so much fun covering this election, we can't stop. thank you for being here. let me ask you about the court case. >> three judge panel, rachel. and they were not happy. none of the judges thought that the plaintiff in this case could probably skip the court case without making his argument. the people who want to keep the democratic line open on the ballot wanted to examine david orelle. there was so much thought that the judges could throw out the case on that basis. we expect a ruling on wednesday, that part of

robert mueller to conduct an independent probe of the issue. there is no word if goodell will be there sunday night for the taken's home opener. laura? >> thank you, sam. today is a significant day we will never forget. 13 years ago today the deadliest terror attack on u.s. soil occurred. we have a live look at new york city now where a memorial now stands for the thousands of men and women killed when terrorists crashed two planes into the twin towers. in just over an hour will be a moment of silence in newark when the plane hit the south tower. several of the passengers on board flight 93 were from the bay area. a vigil i was held last night in shankville where the plan crashed. passengers tried to take control of the flight before it crashed into a field. today there will be a special tribute for the passengers and crew who died on flight 93. their families will be presented with congressional medals this morning. the park service is working on a memorial in the field where the plane crashed. >> and at 5:46 this morning, all vta buses and trains will stop and drivers will observe a moment of silence in honor of the men and women who died. >> and in

robert. and to this point, what he can be in this new offensive system remains a mystery. at redskins park, dave owens, wusa9 sports. >> thank you so ouch many, michael sam no longer without a job. after being cut by the rams, sam is now a member of the dallas cowboys practice squad. taken in the 7th round, sam is the first openly gay player to be draft by an nfl team. nationals going for their first road series win in los angeles. top of the 9th inning, nats down 2. after taking a couple days off, bryce harper scores, we are all tied up. and drives in danny espinosa. dodgers actually just tied the game up 3-3. bottom of the 9th, there were two outs to see if they can pull it off. >> it's that time of year again. high school football and here is your -- our first weekly poll of the season. four great games for you to choose from. check the code of the game you want to see to 25543. and we'll announce the winner tomorrow night. >> oh man. so the nats are looking like they may go into extra innings. >> they are up one, the dodgers tied it up. >> have they ended the inning? have they gotten out of the inning? >> yes. they are still going, jason worth appare

roberts will survive. it's been fascinating to watch this unfold in kansas. the latest eventuality is the father of a samnback campaign staffer seems to have been drafted to file a citizen lawsuit against the kansas democratic party to try to force them to put a democratic candidate, a third candidate, on the ballot. i say it appears he was drafted for that task because he doesn't seem all that into his own lat. the man did not bother to show up at the court hearing today for what is supposedly his own lawsuit. >>> republicans never expected they'd need to fight so hard in deep red kansas. not for the governors seat they already hold. not also for the senate seat that's been republican since the great depression. but this is no ordinary year in kansas. that comes with implications for the rest of the cannountry and who is in control. mr. helling, you have been having so much fun covering this election, we can't stop booking you. >> who knew, right? >> let me ask you about the cort case. how did the judges react today when the guy who was supposedly suing over the senate race didn't bother showing up for

roberts and independent challenger greg norman. that a, the kansas governor's debate between incumbent republican sam brownback and democratic challenger paul davis. between democrat staci appel and david young is rated a tossup. here is a look at some of the ads running in that race. republican antiparty brokers went into the back room saturday, they chose tc insider david young. by standinge room up for cutting social security and ending medicare as we know it, even raising the minimum retirement age. what washington really needs is iowa commonse of sense. staci appel worked as a financial consultant who knows small business is key to job growth. she helped to get equal pay and equal growth in iowa. she will protect social security and medicare. the backroomend deals and put iowa families first. i am david young and i approve this message. barack obama promises hope. then he ripped apart our health-care system, shredded our economy, and crumbled our national security. but if we band together and fight for conservative principles, we can put our economy and our country back together again. >> iowa's answer is not magic. it's david you
