Because of this, Ryan was forced out of the race by public opinion.Perhaps, but I think it was all mock outrage. The politically suicidal Illinois GOP ran by loser Judy Barr Topinka was Ryan's downfall. Ryan was the right candidate in the wrong state. It's a shame what they did to that good man. That's about the time I started watching Obama. He was being groomed for the national stage even at that time. The machine was already behind him and he couldn't lose against anyone.

You may be right. I don't know enough about Illinois politics to comment. I was only relaying what it looked like from an outsider (outside of Illinois that is) perspective. Unfortunately, if Ryan was thinking about a career in politics, he's probably done now. That's a shame. From what I read, he was a solid conservative.
