| Description | Nearly five weeks after he said he would drop out of the U.S. Senate race, Republican Jack Ryan inexplicably remains on the ballot.
Ryan isn't saying why, and neither are his aides. Although he has repeatedly and publicly promised to withdraw, he jokingly said during one of many national news appearances that he would reconsider if thousands of people showed up at his door and asked.
State Republican leaders are frustrated, and the uncertainty about who will be atop the ticket is a lingering embarrassment to a GOP still trying to recover from the indictment of former Gov. George Ryan in a widespread corruption scandal and a disastrous 2002 election in which it lost almost every statewide office. |
