Via Townhall:
This week the AFL-CIO threw its considerable weight behind Democrat-turned-independent Greg Orman in his bid for U.S. Senate in Kansas. This came on the heels of a debate that was all about defining who Greg Orman really is:
The AFL-CIO will endorse Kansas Senate candidate Greg Orman, a spokesman for the labor union tells National Journal, giving the independent candidate from Kansas a last-minute lift in his race against Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.

The AFL-CIO had previously endorsed Kansas’s Democratic Party’s gubernatorial nominee, Paul Davis, who is locked into one of the country’s most competitive gubernatorial contests with incumbent Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.
