I noticed there was a bit of buzz about Padgett being compromised because Ney endorsed her bid, but I don't think it'll make a bit of difference if Padgett's name is on the ballot. As CA-50 demonstrated, corruption is not a vicarious factor. Once the suspect candidate is off the ballot the voters move on, and this is still a very firmly GOP district. Last but not least, Zach Space is a third-tier opponent, just like Ms Busby.
