 FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The state treasurer dropped out of the gubernatorial race Monday, citing sagging poll numbers, dwindling campaign cash and the prospect of a crowded Democratic field producing a "unelectable" nominee.
Jonathan Miller said he made the decision after consulting his wife, Lisa, and running mate, Jefferson County attorney Irv Maze.
"The odds are if I stayed in the race that there was a real possibility that the Democratic primary could produce a nominee who was unelectable in the fall — a nominee whose baggage would be picked apart and exploited," Miller said at an afternoon news conference.
