GOP Senate Committee Director: "We Have No Safe Seats Right Now"

Kansas hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since the Great Depression.

Through 13 presidents and five wars, Republicans have held its two seats for 76 unbroken years -- the longest streak in the nation.

But today's political climate could weaken their grip.

"The Republican brand is really bad in many parts of the country, with Kansas being better than many, but still not good," said Scott Bensing, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "It's not a top-tier race, but it's one of those where, should Democrats come into a bunch of money, it'd be a race."

"We have no safe seats right now," he said. "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."
