Press Release

BILL JOHNSON FOR U.S. SENATE
For Immediate Release March 10, 2010


TIME TO EXIT THE RACE FOR U.S. SENATE
May the Best Man Win

ELKTON —Kentucky GOP Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement regarding his decision to exit the U.S. Senate race.

“Magellan Strategies completed a poll for the campaign on Tuesday evening. The results were not encouraging for a continued run. It is time to gracefully and honorably exit the race for the U.S. Senate.

“I have no regrets. Spending time with men like Bob Heft (50 Star American Flag designer) and Dr. Alan Keyes (Pro-life advocate) has enriched my life. Talking with Kentucky’s Republican congressman during the past few months reassures me that good people are fighting hard for America. I am happy to say that we have some outstanding men and women serving at the state level, many of them have given me words of encouragement. And meeting conservative men and women across the state of Kentucky has renewed my faith that America will again head back to the Constitution.

“Trey and Rand are both good men. I have decided to remain neutral for now and clear of endorsements. Regardless of who wins the primary, I offer my full support to helping that candidate become our next U.S. Senator from Kentucky.

“I will spend the next few months relaxing and enjoying time with my family. I humbly thank all my supporters and volunteers for their efforts. My goal was to be your public servant in Washington but perhaps another opportunity will emerge in the future. I look forward to your continued friendship. Please stay in touch. Best Regards, Bill”

Best Regards,

Did his Unemployment run out?

Damn Bunning

 

[MRoCkEd]

It was good having you in the race, Bill.
I wish you well in your next endeavor.

Happy trails.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I feel confused. All this time I was convinced he was Grayson's attack dog; and yet this.

Very classy exit.

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

Victory for Gurley !

 

[dannno]

I think maybe he had too much fun with those Rand Paul supporters at the Bunning rally

 

[Thargok]

I for one applaud him for putting his family above his own desires. He finally realized that he had no chance and was merely hurting his own family. Ultimately this changes nothing, we have to work just as hard and do just as much, because the fact of the matter is that we are in the same situation we were in yesterday.

Wonder what mommy's gonna do when Bill supports Rand after his primary victory?

 

[Matt Collins]

Victory for Gurley !

[JoshLowry]

Pretty classy press release.

Glad to hear we will have his support in the General election!

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

What are they saying on Kentucky Tea Partiers for Jill? They've banned me

 

[Indy Vidual]

Great news for Rand

/ Bill who?

 

[devil21]

So long Bill. We hardly knew ye.

 

[brandon]

I feel confused. All this time I was convinced he was Grayson's attack dog; and yet this.

Very classy exit.

Me too. This certainly blows a big hole in our theory.

Neither that Facebook group, nor Mommy seem to be even acknowledging it. Looks like the strategy is to pretend it didn't happen. And they call US nuts! lol. When RP dropped out of the race in 2008, at least we didn't just "pretend it didn't happen" good gracious!

 

[Sine Die]

Don't be too hard on his supporters. They're probably just finding out about this. I'm sure they have a lot invested emotionally in their candidate and it will take some time for them.
