FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A Kentucky ophthalmologist who has been eyeing a U.S. Senate campaign says he will run for the seat now held by Jim Bunning.
Republican Rand Paul of Bowling Green ended months of speculation Wednesday when he told The Associated Press in an interview that he is entering the race. Paul told the AP of his decision in advance of a series of planned media events, including an appearance on national television Wednesday evening.
Paul had been considering running even before the 77-year-old Bunning announced last week that he intends to retire when his second term ends next year.
Paul is the son of former presidential candidate Ron Paul, a Texas lawmaker who ran in last year's Republican primaries.

Great news. Now if we can just get the cloning machine running, we might have a respectable government again.
This is great news. There are a few others running, too: Peter Schiff against Chris Dodd in Connecticut, RJ Harris in Oklahoma, and Adam Kokesh in New Mexico. This could just be the start.
