Here's another bummer for the GOP: Jim Cappuccilli, the lone remaining Republican candidate for the open seat of retiring GOP Rep. Jim Walsh is dropping out of the race due to health reasons:

Former State Fair Director Peter Cappuccilli has dropped out of the race for the 25th Congressional District after suffering symptoms of what is commonly known as a "mini
stroke." [...]

Cappuccilli was the only remaining Republican in the race. The only other person currently running is Democrat Dan Maffei, who narrowly lost to Walsh in 2006. Republican Randy Wolken, president of the Manufacturers' Association of Central New York, dropped out of the race on March 13th.

Yikes. Does that sound familiar?
