Republican Drops out of CT Senate Race

Alan Schlesinger, former state legislator and the Republican candidate for the Senate, is apparently dropping out of the race because he played poker at the Mohegan Sun casino under an assumed name. I have to say that why that would be a reason to drop out is not clear to me, but the speculation is that the state Republican party sees pickup potential in a possible three-way race and wanted to get this nobody out of the way.
