Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-1st KY) issued a press release today laying to rest the speculation that he is running for Senator Jim Bunning's seat. It doesn't end speculation that he may look at the governor's race in 2012.
Whitfield cites as his reason West Kentucky should keep him in the seat he has held for years that : "With our economy still reeling and controversial energy legislation being pushed forward that will have an enormous impact on Kentuckians, a strong voice to represent the First District in Washington is more important than ever."
Since incumbents win 99% of the time and there isn't a Democrat's name even being floated, Mr. Whitfield looks like a sure bet to win another term in Congress.
