Kansas is a reliable example of a conservative state, having voted for the [[Republican]] candidate in every Presidential election since 1968. Their federal delegation is entirely Republican, [[Pat Roberts]] and [[Sam Brownback]], are Republicans. Pat Roberts' current term of office is up in 2008. However, the state had a Democratic governor, Kathleen Sebelius, from 2003 until 2009. The past ten Governors have alternated between Republican and Democrats, which shows the independent nature of Kansans in politics going back to pre-statehood. Kansas has a rich history of influence on the Republican party going back to [[William Allen White]] to [[Bob Dole]].
