Run, Jack, Run!

Ryan Considers Abandoning Senate Bid
Illinois Republican senatorial candidate Jack Ryan, his candidacy in turmoil over sex club allegations, is considering quitting the race, a knowledgeable GOP official said Thursday.
If Ryan drops out of the Illinois senate race, the sex scandal that erupted after the release of his divorce records will have backfired. The Democratic Candidate, Barack Obama, already had a considerable lead in many polls even before news of the scandal broke and these recent event surely would have strengthened his posistion. If Jack Ryan drops out, then the Republicans would have a chance to run a more electable candidate in his place.
