Kansas, traditionally seen as one of the reddest of red states and a lock for Republicans in U.S. presidential races, appears to have hit a bit of a blue streak in the last quarter, according to the latest fundraising data.

Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, the Democratic front-runner for the 2008 presidential nomination, raised more than $60,000 in Kansas in the third quarter, beating out all other contenders from both parties in funds raised from Kansas. In all, Clinton has taken in more than $90,000 from the state since the campaign began.

The money raised in the historically conservative farm state is a drop in the bucket in Clinton’s campaign war chest, which now totals about $35 million. But Clinton’s apparent appeal in the home state of Sen. Sam Brownback, who is seeking the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, has to hurt.

Brownback, who bills himself as a conservative Christian defender of family values, brought in just $54,581 from his fellow Kansans, records show. Brownback spent more than he raised during the last quarter, ending September with just $94,000 in the bank.

Brownback has said if he does not finish fourth or better in the Iowa caucus, one of the first contests of the 2008 primary season, he will drop his bid.
