Title: Rockefeller Abandons Run for Arkansas Gov. Post by: MAS117 on July 19, 2005, 05:01:28 PM LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Lt. Gov. Win Rockefeller said Tuesday he was abandoning his run for governor, an office his father held for two terms, because of a blood disorder that could eventually turn into leukemia.
Rockefeller, 56, said it would be unfair to his political supporters to continue his campaign against former Homeland Security Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson for the Republican nomination in 2006.

Who wins a Hutchinson-Beebe contest? I see there's a Green and an independent as well - does either have the potential to affect this race? Title: Re: Rockefeller Abandons Run for Arkansas Gov.

I'll move it from weak lean GOP to strong lean GOP.
