Jack Ryan Quits Senate Race

Update: He's out.

***************
No surprise here...Illinois Republican senatorial candidate Jack Ryan likely will drop out of the race. The sex allegations made by his ex-wife were too much. Much ado about nothing in our view, particularly since Ryan denies his ex-wife's allegations which have never been proven, but we're glad a Democrat likely will get the seat:

Ryan, 44, a wealthy former investment banker, is running against Democrat Barack Obama for the seat being vacated by retiring GOP Sen. Peter Fitzgerald -- a potentially key contest in the battle for control of the evenly divided Senate. Even before the lurid allegations, Obama held a lead over Ryan in various polls.
