Studebaker out (Tha Plain Dealer)

[seriousstan]

Montgomery County officials said Democratic candidate Stephanie Studebaker has notified them that she is dropping out of the contest for Ohio's 3rd Congressional District, which covers the Dayton area.

''She formally withdrew. She gave us a letter saying she no longer is a candidate,'' said Cathy Merkle, a spokesman for the Montgomery County Board of Elections in Dayton.

Studebaker, 45, had shut down her campaign after she and her husband were arrested for domestic violence over the weekend at their home in a suburban township.

5. Let's ask Blackwell if we could take a candidate who lost a primary

election and put that person's name on the ballot ... I mean, it worked for Repuke Padgett, right?

Oh, wait ... it would be a Democrat, so the ruling would go against the candidate ...
