U.S. South: Open Discussion

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) is one grumpy-camper:

Amid the soap opera-like drama that has become Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-Ky.) political future, the lawmaker has commissioned the first poll of his bid for a third term — and he’s not releasing the results.

“It’s none of your godd—ed business,” Bunning told reporters on a morning conference call, when asked about the poll’s results. “If you paid the 20 grand for the poll, you can get some information out of it.”

The race to replace Rep. Adam Putman (R-FL-12) is heating up.

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC-11) is not going to run for Sen. Richard Burr’s senate seat.
