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.

"I will definitely not be endorsing Chris Thieneman," said Everett yesterday, while campaigning a Ron Paul event.

Everett - who pulled one percent support in the only public polling on the race - said he made the decision to deviate from that sentiment after hearing Theineman and 3rd district GOP frontrunner, former Congresswoman Anne Northup, on "The Joe Elliott" radio program this morning.

"The only person who can articluate the anxiety of the middle class in Jefferson County is Chris Thieneman, " Everett said this evening, connecting this decision to the radio forum.

"I want to support the only Republican who can win against [incumbent Democratic 3rd district Congressman] John Yarmuth in November," Everett continued.

Everett expressed concern the Republican Party was in electoral trouble in November, and argued Thieneman was the only "change" candidate in the GOP field.

"Frankly, I think all Republicans are in danger of becoming a permanent minority party if we don't change," said Everett. "We are caught between the anvil of the economy and the Barack Obama hammer."

Everett and Thieneman are holding a 10am joint press conference to announce the news on the Jefferson County Courthouse steps.

When asked what impact his endorsement could have given his light take of poll support, Everett said the poll numbers may obscure his influence on voters.

"A lot of people who don't vote for me still listen to what I have to say about political issues," said Everett.

According to the same Poll, Thieneman was pulling 11 percent, though his campaign was dormant at that time. He withdrew from the race in late January before reviving his bid in late April.

Northup got 79 percent support in that poll while the race's fourth candidate, UPS employee Bob Devore pulled 3 percent.

A spokesman for the Thieneman campaign said they would continue phone banking and running television ads up until election day.

When asked if he would ever run for office again, Everett said "never say never."

But, of course, to say "never say never" means you've said never twice.
