Uh, why?
From Politico:
A noteworthy development in the Kentucky Senate race: National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn said — for the first time — that the committee will be endorsing Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), if he runs for re-election.
Cornyn told the Washington Post’s Ben Pershing yesterday that Bunning has the full support of the committee.
“As long as he is running, I will be supportive of him,” Cornyn told the Post.

The question in my mind is, how much pull does the NRSC have anymore – especially in relation to a whole lot of exasperated Kentuckians? I guess we can only hope and pray that its enough to drag his sorry butt across the finish line in the primary.
maybe this means that Bunning has chosen to retire so the NRSC can finally say things like this?
This is great news! Go Jim Go!
