Matt Bai: Why an independent win in Kansas would matter

One month from the midterm elections, and Kansas is the most interesting state on the map. Greg Orman, a former business consultant and clean energy entrepreneur is running for Senate as an independent against the state's powerful Republican incumbent, Pat Roberts. Since the Democratic candidate dropped out to give Orman more running room, he seems to have opened up a surprisingly wide lead in the race.

If anyone seriously thinks that what happens in Kansas can't happen sometime soon on the national level, in a presidential campaign, then he isn't paying attention.

All the old barriers to entry that once made the idea of an independent presidency seem outlandish—getting on the ballot in every state, raising tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars—are teetering, for the same reason that Uber is breaking up Big Taxi. Technology evens the playing field, or at least lessens the slope. Barack Obama built his own fundraising and grassroots network in 2008 almost entirely outside the party and then took it over. The next candidate who does it might just decide to skip the takeover part and jump right to the election (as Ross Perot did in a pretty impressive showing in 1992, before anyone knew the word "Internet").
