Senator Bunning to Retire

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Embattled U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning has announced that he will not seek re-election to a third term in 2010.

His decision ends months of speculation that he would drop out of the Senate race because of his inability to raise money, poor poll numbers and lack of support from top Republican officials.

In the Republican primary the frontrunner seems to be Trey Grayson who has raised over $600,000, but Dr. Rand Paul has formed an exploratory committee as well and has raised over $160,000.

On the Democrat side I believe the Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo is the only candidate in the race.
