Officials in the Jack Ryan campaign have spoken to some members of the congressional delegation, asking for advice about a possible strategy for ending his candidacy in the U.S. Senate race, sources said today.
But as recently as this morning, a Ryan spokeswoman was denying rumors the candidate was reassessing whether to continue his campaign.
"We are not reassessing. Jack Ryan is in the race to stay. Jack Ryan will be in the race on Nov. 2,'' Kelli Phiel told the Associated Press.
The conversations between Ryan's campaign and Republicans in Washington came after the candidate dropped a scheduled trip to the nation's capital to participate in a fundraising event with Sen. George Allen (R-Virginia), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
The cancellation of that fundraiser fueled speculation in the GOP that Ryan had lost crucial support from the national Republican group.

Put Edgar in the waste bin.
Isn't Edgar just another corrupt RINO?
Yeah just what the country needs another wannabe demo rat in the mold of bob michaels.
There hasn't been a pubbie in this state since Everett Dirk sen and he was a go along to get along guy.
Learn to like Obama. Did you know he went to Harvard? It always comes out in the first paragraph.
This is too bad; he shouldn't have to pull out. When he was young he was adventurous, and with a smokin' hot wife. And he was probably just jokin anyhow; everything gets twisted into the worst possible interpretation in a divorce. What his views are on the issues is what should count, not this stuff.
Some might call him a RINO, but I don't think he was corrupt.
He is quite popular here in IL.
Where are the pictures of Jeri Ryan?
Do any solid conservative Ohio representatives have enough name recognition to win a statewide election?
Chabot?
Tiberi?
Portman?
Boener?
Too bad he also didn't serve in Vietnam.
LOL
And he was also the first person the Bush people vetted for the job last year.
We need someone like him on the ticket, or we have the two worst senators in the nation come January.
He needs to pull a Torch, and pull out with like three weeks left in the campaign. Then appoint some popular Republican, and skate to victory.
If he drops out, we will miss being amused by members of the fully segregated, step-n-fetchit the Congressional Black Cacus as they explain how with Willie it was only about sex but with Ryan, it is about sex.
Why doesn't Ryan have this marriage annuled and move on to his next hot babe (I always thought that 7 of 9 would be much better than Captain Janeway in a ... what is that Klingon word?).
What have you got against Edgar?
Resistance is futile...
Why doesn't he just switch parties? He'd win in a landslide.
Worse than Putzy and The Beast?
Dick Durbin is a dim wit alright but not quite on the level of drunk fat Ted or Hillary, Charles Schumer or Sheets Byrd.
When vying for the honor of worst senator ours are going to have some stiff competition
