Sue Lowden chickens out of Reno candidate forum

[tonysam]

I like my headline better than the paper's:

Sue Lowden, a front-runner in the crowded Republican field in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race, pulled out of a Reno candidate forum Saturday after questions were raised over a consultant and how any proceeds at the event would be distributed.

“Sue wants to remain above the fray,” Lowden spokeswoman Crystal Feldman told The Associated Press by telephone. “If there’s any issue, she’s not going to participate.”

Saturday’s forum at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center was sponsored by Project Americans Coming Together, Western Representation PAC, Nevada 9/12 Project and Nevada Republican Assembly — all conservative groups united in working for the defeat of Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Lowden notified organizers shortly before the 3 p.m. panel that she would not attend.
The forum went on with four other GOP contenders, who answered questions from moderators but did not question or respond to each other.
