President Bush has decided against making a campaign visit for Kentucky state Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr (R) in next month’s special House election, according to knowledgeable GOP sources.

The lack of a personal visit could be a blow to Kerr, who has cast her race against former state Attorney General Ben Chandler (D) as a referendum on the president.

“When Ben was looking at the race there was a lot of bluster coming from Republicans about White House involvement and potential presidential visits,” said Chandler spokesman Jason Sauer. “It looks like they were bluffing or they have lost confidence in their chances of victory.”

Democrats believe that Bush’s decision signals a fear among his campaign operatives that if Kerr loses the race it could reflect poorly on him as he begins to rev up his re-election campaign.
