Sen. Bunning plans to seek another term

MAYFIELD, Ky. -- Republican Sen. Jim Bunning on Saturday repeated his intention to seek a third term in 2010, and predicted he'll be a prime target of Democrats.

Bunning, who has twice won Senate races by razor-thin margins, predicted he'll have about $500,000 in campaign funds by year's end for what he expects will be an expensive race.

Asked about potential Democratic challengers, Bunning replied, “There will be plenty.”

Bunning made the remarks before a GOP breakfast leading up to the annual Fancy Farm Picnic, signaling the start of Kentucky’s general-election campaign this year.
