KY-Sen: NRSC Meets With Williams

[ccharles000]

From the right-leaning KYPolitics.org:

A political bombshell this weekend from several well-placed GOP sources, in Frankfort and Washington: State senate President David Williams met with officials at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) on Friday to discuss his interest in running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Jim Bunning. Williams, in town for the National Governor's Association winter meeting, impressed GOP officials, who called his interest "serious."
Over at The Hill, Reid Wilson confirms the scoop. The real question for Williams is does he actually want to enter a primary battle against Bunning? He recently supported a tax increase on alcohol and tobacco -- something that wouldn't go over well with the GOP rank-and-file.

This news is pretty extraordinary. It's hard to think of another recent example of a campaign committee so actively working to dump one of their incumbents -- even going so far as to line up a potential primary foe. I'm looking forward to hearing Bunning's response to this chicanery.

1. NO! I wanna run against Bunning in the general... he'd be so fun to defeat
