bunning for senate 2010

Here's a potential Democratic pickup in 2010 - the Kentucky senate seat held by Jim Bunning. And the GOP knows it, so they're trying to get the cranky old pitcher to retire gracefully.

Doesn't seem to be Bunning's style.

But isn't ex-Bushie Phil Musser a bit unfair when he says of Bunning, “He is perceived as being out-of-touch, hot-headed and generally counterproductive”?

I mean, how many Republicans does that describe?
