A long running dispute in Garden City Missouri between American Legion Post 9 and its SAL and ALR groups led to suspensions of Riders and SAL members for up to a year.

Sudden withdrawal by Democrat Chad Taylor opens path for independent Greg Orman to emerge as a strong challenger to Republican Pat Roberts. Polls favored Roberts in a three way race, but Taylor's exit reshapes the contest with anti incumbent sentiment aiding Orman while Roberts fights to connect with moderates and liberals in a state wary of Democratic label. Washington strategists respond with urgent campaign support.
