This is getting very interesting. Bunning says if the Goopers fail to aid him in his re-election, he will resign his Senate seat.
Bwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why is this good for John McCain?
The implication, they said, was that Bunning would allow Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, to appoint his replacement — a move that could give Democrats the 60 votes they need to block Republican filibusters in the Senate.
"I would get the last laugh. Don’t forget Kentucky has a Democrat governor," one of the sources quoted Bunning as saying.
"The only logical extension of that comment is, ‘(Make me mad) ... enough and I’ll resign, and then you’ve got 60 Democrats,’ " said another source who was present at the event.
That was the clear message Bunning was sending, said a third source who heard the senator’s remarks at the fundraiser, which attracted about 15 people.
Update: Josh at TPM has more.
HAPPY FRIDAY NIGHT
