Rep. Ron Lewis Drops Out Minutes Before Deadline

Star-Tribune

In the second surprise development in as many days in Kentucky congressional races, Rep. Ron Lewis abruptly ended his re-election campaign Tuesday.

Lewis, a Republican, withdrew from the race only moments before the campaign filing deadline, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. His chief of staff, Daniel London, filed to enter the race. Republican state Sen. Brett Guthrie also filed for the seat.

Number 23? And why? Spending more time with his family. Yeah, right.

You know, I was trying to come up with something snarky, but it just doesn't seem fair anymore. All this bad news happening to the Republicans so often, so quickly, it would be harder to shoot ducks in a barrel.
