RYAN RETREATS, OBAMA GETS A BUMP
My political postings usually stick a little closer to home, but the salacious details of Illinois GOP Senate Candidate Jack Ryan's sexual exploits have been too much fun to ignore.
Word just in that Illinois GOP Senate Candidate Jack Ryan, under pressure from his state's GOP leaders, will indeed step down as their candidate for the U.S. Senate. The Associated Press is reporting that a formal announcement from Ryan will come within hours.
Jack Ryan was challenging Democratic State Senator Barack Obama for the Illinois Senate Seat being vacated by Sen. Peter Fitzgerald. Obama was already ahead in the polls, long before the juicy details of Ryan's divorce from actress Jeri Ryan were made public.
Too bad. I was sooo enjoying this story...
