Bunning endorses Tea Party favorite Rand Paul for Senate

The Miami Herald reports:

Republican Sen. Jim Bunning of Kentucky on Wednesday endorsed upstart Tea Party favorite Rand Paul to replace him in the U.S. Senate — a blow to Kentucky's Republican establishment and its preferred candidate, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson.

Polls show Grayson trailing Paul by double digits ahead of the May 18 primary.

Grayson is backed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky's other U.S. senator, who conducted a campaign last year to force Bunning to retire from the Senate.
