Webb-Edgington loses her own big day

Congressman Geoff Davis has been dialing for dollars for months to help his favorite candidate, Alecia Webb-Edgington, replace him in Congress. It hasn't worked very well, so today he called a press conference and endorsed her.

And he dragged Jim Bunning along to do the same.

The upshot is this was the last bullet in Team Webb-Edgington's six shooter. One month before election day, that's not good news. Lewis County Judge Executive Thomas Massie got big news last week with the endorsement of presidential candidate Ron Paul and may get bigger news soon if Senator Rand Paul follows suit. But that will be Massie's last shot when it happens. Massie's rumor, innuendo and hearsay whisper campaign against Boone County Judge Executive Gary Moore has drawn no blood and Senator Paul won't burn political capital like his father will. Massie presents well but can't distinguish himself without a very sharp edge to his attacks and can't attack sharply this late in the campaign to get better than second place.

So even the biggest day of Alecia Webb-Edgington's political career likely benefits Gary Moore the most, whose Northern Kentucky Right to Life endorsement will prove to be the most impactful of all.
