Rand Paul could challenge Bunning

Two months ago, we were greeted with the intriguing news that Rand Paul, son of you-know-who, plans to run for Senate in Kentucky—provided that Brunning, a senile incumbent who most Republicans see as a liability stepped down.

It's unlikely Bunning will run for re-election, but if he does Rand is now considering running a challenge. He hopes to raise $1 million in a money-bomb day Aug. 20, which I'll certainly be participating in.
