What GOP incumbent senators are most vulnerable to defeat in 2014?

I'm convinced that if the Dems are going to hold on to the Senate (even with Biden as the tie breaker) we have to defeat at least one incumbent GOP Senator. I think these are the two races we have the best shot:

Kentucky--most polls show a tight race between Senator Turtle, aka Mitch McConnell against Democrat Allison Lundergan Grimes.

Kansas--Senator Pat Roberts leads but it is not overwhelmingly ahead of Democrat Chad Taylor. The Governor of Kansas, Brownback, is also wildly unpopular and is currently behind the Democratic candidate for Governor, Paul Davis.
