Top GOPer Concedes That Party Has No Safe Senate Seats
By Eric Kleefeld - July 11, 2008, 3:52PM


Here's yet another sign of just how abysmal the map is for Senate Republicans this year: They are openly saying there are exactly zero safe seats this year -- not even Kansas, a red state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.

"We have no safe seats right now," NRSC spokesman Scott Bensing told the Kansas City Star. "In a normal election year, we would not be concerned at all. But those are the cards we're dealt. We're not taking any states for granted."

Two-term Republican Pat Roberts is facing a challenge from former Rep. Jim Slattery, and might be vulnerable because of his role as a lead apologist for the Bush Administration's Iraq policies when he was chairman of the Intelligence Committee. Even if you think Roberts is favored to win, it still says something that the NRSC has to pay any attention at all to this very red state.

thumbup.gif I hope the Republicans loose every seat in Congress and the Presidential election as well. After what this country has been through the past 7 years, they deserve to loose and loose big...I also hope some of the Blue Dog Democrats that have been kissing George's butt also go down to defeat!! I will not shed a tear!!! laugh.gif
