Rockefeller Withdrawing

Lt. Gov. Win Rockefeller has announced he is withdrawing from the race for Governor due to serious health problems.

The state official said his illness is being treated aggressively and that he will have a bone marrow transplant.

Rockefeller has been campaigning and raising money in the hope of following in his father's footsteps as governor of Arkansas. He said that his blood condition could turn into leukemia and that the illness would end his plans for 2006.

While it is unlikely I would've supported him for governor, I'm sorry to hear of his illness and would like to extend my best wishes for a successful and speedy recovery.
