GOP candidate Johnson bows out of Senate race

[ccharles000]

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Republican Bill Johnson bowed out of the U.S. Senate race Wednesday, citing an internal poll that showed him distantly trailing two better-known GOP candidates.

Johnson, a Western Kentucky businessman, exited the race without endorsing either of his chief rivals — Bowling Green ophthalmologist Rand Paul and Secretary of State Trey Grayson.

Paul campaign manager David Adams praised Johnson for the energy he brought to the campaign.

“Bill Johnson has been a real gamer, and I'm sure we haven't heard the last of him,” Adams said. “The energy he brought to this race is a sure testimony to the public's desire for an outsider to shake things up in Kentucky.”
