McConnell Skirts Bunning Endorsement



U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell still won't say if he'll endorse his fellow Republican senator from Kentucky, whose seat is considered to be the most vulnerable for the GOP in 2010.

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace brought up the 2010 race, in which 77-year-old U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning is seeking a third term, but has gotten a cool reception from top Republicans and is having difficulty raising money.

McConnell would only respond that it is not clear who the players are going to be in the race, saying the contest is still unfolding.

Bunning spokesman Mike Reynard said Sunday the senator was not immediately available for comment.

There are already two possible GOP rivals for the seat who have formed exploratory committees, as well as two Democrats.
