Sad Though It May Be, Indictments Can Get One Kicked Out of a Political Race

From this:

Colorado Republican Party chairperson Kristi Burton Brown and other party leaders issued a statement Wednesday calling on secretary of state candidate Tina Peters to suspend her campaign for secretary of state after being indicted by a grand jury on 10 criminal charges related to election tampering.

Yes, it’s painful to have to end a political campaign at any time.  Losing in a tightly contested race in the last few moments is one of them.  But being asked to resign by members of your own party, because you’re only a step away from prison, must hurt like a b****.

Tears.
