LOUISVILLE -- As an opponent becomes a former opponent, developer and 3rd U.S. House district candidate Chris Thieneman (R-Louisville) says he hopes today's endorsement from property manager Corley Everett (R-Louisville) will push him over the top in tomorrow's Republican primary.

"The momentum continues to flow in our direction," said Thieneman today. "The votes [Everett] brings just may be the amount we need tomorrow."

The notorious 'they' say that a day is a lifetime in politics. For one Congressional candidate in the 3rd U.S. House district race in Kentucky, a day is at least enough to decide that "definitely not" instead means "definitely will."

Louisville property manager Corley Everett will, in fact, drop out of the 3rd district race and endorse Republican primary opponent Chris Thieneman just one day after telling PolitickerKY.com he would not.

Louisville property manager Corley Everett will be hanging in the Republican race for the 3rd Congressional District, despite earlier speculation that he may drop out and support another candidate in that race.

"I will definitely not be endorsing Chris Thieneman," said Everett on Saturday, while campaigning at the Louisville Palace theatre in conjunction with Congressman Ron Paul's (R-Tex.) visit to Kentucky.

3rd District Congressional candidate and property manager Corley Everett (R-Louisville) is pondering ending his bid for the District's Republican nomination and endorsing fellow Republican candidate and Louisville developer Chris Thieneman.

Everett told PolitickerKY.com he was currently goingCorley Everett (R-Louisville) door-to-door to promote his campaign, but that he was considering ceasing his efforts in favor of supporting Thieneman after that candidate began running a more visible campaign for the nomination.

"Chris has been doing a much more effective job," said Everett. "I've talked to him about a unified approach."

LOUISVILLE -- The four candidates for the Republican nomination in the 3rd Congressional District congregated in Louisville on Monday night for their race’s only full-fledged debate prior to the May 20 primary.

For three of the candidates, it was the chance to introduce themselves as contrasts to the race frontrunner - and former holder of the 3rd District seat – Anne Northup. Northup, on the other hand, spent the evening distinguishing herself from the man who unseated her in 2006, incumbent John Yarmuth (D-Louisville).

Property manager Corley Everett, UPS employee Bob Devore, and developer Chris Thieneman – each based out of Louisville – joined Northup on stage Wednesday night for a mostly civil engagement, broadcast live on the KET public television network.

Anne Northup, the frontrunner for the 3rd Congressional District Republican nomination, will be in attendance at Monday night’s candidate forum to be broadcast live on KET. All four Republican candidates are set to debate, shortly after two of Northup’s opponents jointly circulated a press release claiming Northup was planning to skip the forum.Corley Everett (R-Louisville)

Northup’s campaign, meanwhile, says their candidate was planning to attend the forum all along.

According to new poll numbers, former Congresswoman Anne Northup is significantly ahead of her competition in the GOP race for the 3rd U.S. House district in Kentucky.
