Jim Bunning To Retire

Good news for the Republican party. Bunning was in deep trouble in all of his matchups. As an incumbent polling in the 30s and 40s, Bunning probably the most vulnerable Senate incumbent this cycle. The remaining GOP'ers don't poll much better, but they are not not incumbents. In a state that went for John McCain by seventeen points, Republicans should be in a strong position to hold the seat. Nonetheless, this is not a done deal, as Democrats have strong nominees in Attorney General Jack Conway and Lieutenant Governor Dan Mongiardo.
