Bunning Says He'll Run in 2010
U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning, a 75-year-old Republican from Kentucky, intends to seek re-election in 2010. "I'm one of the young guys up here," Bunning, R-Ky., told reporters in a telephone call Tuesday morning from Washington. If re-elected, Bunning would be 79 when he is sworn in for his third term in the Senate. He would be 85 at the end of the term. Bunning said several other senators are older than him pointing to U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., who is 89 and serving as chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He said at least three other senators who are over 80 and still serving.
