Bunning makes pitch for 2010 re-election
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning sought to put to rest rumors that the he plans on retiring soon to make way for Secretary of State Trey Grayson when that position is up for re-election in 2010.
“I said it the day after 2004, so can we put it to bed today? I’m going to be a candidate in 2010. If I could throw a little harder I might even come back and try to pitch,” Bunning said.
Bunning, Kentucky's junior U.S. Senator, told reporters Tuesday on a conference call that he met with Grayson recently to discuss the younger man’s political aspirations after Grayson handily won re-election despite a loss at the top of the ticket by fellow Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
“The meeting I had with Trey Grayson was to congratulate him,” Bunning said. “I asked him what his intentions were, whether they were local or national. From the meeting I had, Trey seemed focused on local (politics) and wanted to do some good things in KY.”

Only the future will tell us if Kentuckians want to send Sen. Bunning back to Washington...

The answer is no he does not deserve to go back to Washington and if he is stupid enough to run the voters will tell him so.

If he does not retire, we will do it for him. That son of a b*tch will never win anything again.

Fucking northern Kentucky voted for him enough last time over Mongiardo that the senile, gay-bashing, Arab-hating bastard won. Let's not let that happen again.

Bunning needs to retire and cut his losses. He is delusional. I can't believe he was elected this last time. The voters in Kentucky must be insane.
