Bunning endorses Rand Paul

Published



In case you missed this one yesterday, retiring Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., has just endorsed the anti-establishment candidate as his replacement. From NPR:

Bunning no doubt took special delight in endorsing Paul on Wednesday.  With a clear jab aimed at [Senate Republican Leader Mitch] McConnell, Bunning said Paul “will be his own man in Washington, not beholden to the special interests and beltway insiders who come looking for handouts on a daily basis.”  Politico’s Jonathan Martin says the endorsement “comes as a surprise” because there was a time when Bunning “appeared to give his political blessing to Grayson, who created an exploratory committee only after meeting with the senator.”
