U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning said today that he's not ready to support Gov. Ernie Fletcher's re-election bid because "not all the players are in the game." Bunning, R-Ky., said Republicans need the best candidate to hold on to the governor's mansion and it may not be Fletcher. Instead, Bunning said, he's waiting for decisions by some members of Kentucky's congressional delegation. Bunning's comments came five days after U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also declined to offer an endorsement of Fletcher, a fellow Republican who has been embroiled in legal and political turmoil this year.
