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.
