It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Thomas Massie had already backed James Comer.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...r-in-kentucky/Matt Bevin is running for governor in Kentucky
Tea party favorite Matt Bevin, who challenged Sen. Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary last year, made a surprise announcement Tuesday that he is running for governor in the Bluegrass State.
"After many months of prayer and consultation with my family and fellow Kentuckians all around our Commonwealth, I am pleased to announce that I am running for Governor of Kentucky," he said in a statement. "It is not a decision I have made lightly, but rather, after careful consideration of all the variables currently in this race."
Bevin's last-minute entry to the race will likely shake up the path to the GOP gubernatorial nomination, which is now a four-way race with no clear front-runner. In addition to Bevin, State Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, former Louisville Councilman Hal Heiner and former state Supreme Court Justice Will Scott are also running for the Republican nomination.
Although it remains unclear how Bevin's candidacy will change the dynamics of the race, Kentucky Republicans are bracing for a potentially prolonged fight that could damage the GOP in the general election.
