Going Rogue

What is this about Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky)? The Republicans don't think he can win reelection next time and are trying to ease him out and get someone else.

But he's not going down without a fight. This story says he's "going rogue." He's got all his buddies in the Republican caucus who are trying to nudge him aside -- and he's nudging back. First he threatened to sue them if they didn't support him financially. Now he has an even better threat, that he might withdraw altogether, that is resign, and let the Democratic governor of his state appoint his successor. That would be cool.

Make our day, Republicans. Make this old twerp madder.

From the article: "I would get the last laugh. Don't forget Kentucky has a Democrat governor."
