From The Louisville Courier-Journal: How Kentucky governor's race is about to get more money – and turn ugly
By PHILIP M. BAILEY
Democrat Adam Edelen appears poised to benefit from a new super PAC, started by a supporter of his race for Kentucky governor.
The group's debut is a sign that the primary contest — which features Attorney General Andy Beshear and House Minority Leader Rocky Adkins — could turn ugly, as super PACs are known to use negative ads to promote their candidates.
"Super PACs do change the race, and can have a major effect if they have enough money and they're well run," said Democratic consultant Danny Briscoe, who has worked on various statewide campaigns.
