One of the most interesting 2010 Senate races to watch early on is Kentucky's. There, incumbent Republican Senator Jim Bunning has raised negligible amounts of money comapared to his Senate colleagues who stand for reelection in 2010. He has also called Senate Minority Leader, and fellow Kentuckian, Mitch McConnell a "control freak." McConnell has shown no love back, by recently refusing to endorse Bunning for 2010. At one point earlier this year, Bunning even threatened to drop out of the Republican party if they didn't help him more with fundraising.

Bunning has danced around the issue of reelection. Will he be the official Republican candidate in 2010?

Note: suspend date is not fixed. It can be moved forward depending on when Bunning makes it official or drops out.
