More about the state of the race below...
Bunning has been the subject of much
gossip recently about potentially having alzheimers disease or other health issues. Bunning claims he will
release his medical records "later this month" to clear things up... Fanning the flames of this story-line is the fact that Bunning makes few public appearances, does no (or very few) interviews, and has agreed to only one debate, as reported in the Lexington Herald-Leader
article.
There has also been a significant stink recently over Bunning's campaign running flatly untrue TV attack ads about Mongiardo. Then, as if that wasn't enough, there are always Bunning's outrageous comments to deride.
Sure, Mongiardo has a ways to go, but this trend is very encouraging!
