Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

6.25.2004

Just when the Illinois Senate race was getting interesting, Republican candidate Jack Ryan has dropped out after news of his sexual misadventures with ex-wife Jeri Ryan came to light.

Now the Republicans will have to find someone else to lose to Democratic State Senator Barack Obama in November.

A writer at the Daily Kos speculates this may have been deliberate sabotage by Illinois Republicans who were unhappy with Ryan's candidacy and his performance in the race so far. It's a good theory that makes sense. With Obama owning Ryan in the polls, there was no reason for Democrats to try and force a guy out who was almost sure to lose the election.
