Connell suspends campaign after crash
"Shenandoah Mayor Gregg Connell suspended his campaign for governor Wednesday, a day after he was ticketed for running a stop sign in a fatal accident that killed a western Iowa man..."
Obviously this is a personal tragedy, for the victim and his family and for Connell. But it will have Virtually no impact on the governor's race.
Connell had just gotten a little bit of decent publicity, meriting a mention in Yepsen's post Jefferson-Jackson column. The gist was he's a third-tier candidate but a serious guy (the implication being that Sal Mohamed is a third-tier candidate and a flake).
The official withdrawal should follow soon.
