{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}
There has been a great deal of speculation over whether or not Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky will retire. Some of this speculation has focused on Bunning's lethargic fundraising, indicative of someone leaning toward retirement. Well, consider this:
| Senator | Raised
in Q4 | Cash on Hand
at End of 2008 |
|---|
| Jim Bunning | $27,591 | $149,991 | | Tom Coburn | $19,210 | $54,984 |
Tom Coburn raised less in Q4 and has less cash on hand than retirement prospect Bunning.
Maybe Coburn isn't so keen on a re-election bid, as his previous comments have suggested. He certainly isn't fundraising like his heart is in it. Will Coburn be the next Senate Republican to announce his retirement? |
