KY-Sen: Bunning Blames McConnell and Cornyn For Fundraising Woes

by: James L.

Tue Mar 24, 2009 at 3:31 PM EDT

From the AP:

Bunning said during a conference call Tuesday that McConnell and Texas Sen. John Cornyn have put doubts about his 2010 candidacy into the minds of possible donors. Bunning claimed McConnell and Cornyn, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, have tried to recruit someone to challenge him in the GOP primary.

This race is the gift that keeps on giving. McConnell and Cornyn are clearly trying to starve Bunning into retirement, but it's becoming an increasingly plausible scenario that a stubborn but cash-strapped Bunning may emerge as the Republican nominee for this seat in 2010 -- at which point Cornyn and McConnell may find themselves falling over ass-backwards in order to refill the old coot's coffers. It doesn't get much better than this.

He'll have all the money he needs to win reelection...

...after he sues the NRSC and gets a multi-million dollar verdict.

Who knew Kentucky could be so much fun

The only thing that could top this would be if former Governor Fletcher decided primary Bunning.

If that happens ...

I wonder if Fletcher would adopt Edwin Edwards' old campaign slogan from when he ran against David Duke -- "Vote for the Crook: It's Important".
