Breaking in Kentucky... Bunning not running for re-election.
The Courier Journal is reporting that Jim "Bat Shit Crazy" Bunning in what, for him, was a remarkable, almost unheard of moment of clear and lucid thought has announced that he will not seek re-election in 2010. Citing poor fund raising and lack of support from his fellow republicans, as well as Sunday's CJ headline that 100 supporters had abandon him ol' Jim must have finally awoke from his midday snooze and read the handwriting on the wall, and decided not to run again.
