I heard about it on Rush and read it on Rasmussen’s site. It was referenced here on FR in a posted article. You can always call Rush’s show and ask him about it.

Bunning is a moron. We have a better shot at keeping this seat if he were to retire.
By the time 2010 comes, no one will care about Bunning, but they will care about Obama...and compare Bunning’s record to Obama’s (along with comparing parties).
Bottom line - Bunning’s a shoe-in, especially in a state like Kentucky.
Disregard my previous post...I wasn’t aware that he was the Senator predicting the demise of Ginsburg...not a good move.
Perhaps there was some truth to the whispering campaign against Bunning being senile back in 2004. Bunning sure can’t take a hint that he is very vulnerable. He’s been hanging with Ted Stevens too long. A pity Ann Northup lost her house seat. She would have been an awesome Senator.
Bob Smith is as nutty as Bob Barr. Smith endorsed Kerry in NH. Bob Smith is going to gather Ron Paul supporters to start trouble.
Bunning, age-wise, is someone that should’ve been in the Senate in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The fact that he is seriously attempting another run to take him until 2017 is unsettling. I worried about senility in ‘04 myself despite his excellent voting record. Even good men go past their prime, and he has. His poor reelection that year against a second-tier opponent in a great GOP year was the warning sign that needed to be heeded. I don’t think a lot of folks know how old he is. He’s the second oldest Republican Senator after Arlen Specter (and Specter is just a year older than he is). He has earned an honorable retirement, not a sad defeat.
David Williams, a McConnell ally.
“Why would Bunning be vulnerable in a primary?”
He’s at risk to lose the general that’s why.
That's one thing you don't have to worry about with Jim Bunning.
I’ve never worried about that with him...but often if you say something (true or not) that you shouldn’t, people punish you regardless - particularly if you’re a Republican.
